Summer 2013 course registration is now open!

Through our agreement with Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, we offer our students the opportunity to complete the Providence Master of Arts in Counselling program without relocating from Alberta.

The counselling courses are presented in modular format by the counselling faculty of Providence at the Ambrose Seminary campus in Calgary. Students also have the option to complete some courses online. Dr. Rodolfo Nolasco, Dr. Sharon Habermann and Prof. Rob MacDonald are the resident Providence professors in Calgary.  To complete the non-counselling courses within this program you can either take distance education courses at Providence Seminary or take these at Ambrose Seminary.

The M.A. in Counselling degree can be completed in four semesters by a full-time student. Because of the modular format, part-time study options are also available.

See below for Application and Payment information.

Program Objectives

• To familiarize the student with the major secular and Christian approaches to counselling.
• To ensure an adequate Biblical and Theological framework for developing a counselling ministry which is consistent with Biblical revelation.
• To acquire a thorough knowledge of the theory and skills of counselling.
• To train students to become compassionate counsellors with training in psychotherapeutic skills.
   

Nature of the Program

Students apply to Providence and enroll in the Master of Arts Counselling. They take their Bible and Theology courses through Ambrose Seminary. Through a series of one week modules, students complete most of their counselling courses with Providence Theological Seminary faculty at Ambrose Seminary in Calgary.

A major component of the program is a sequence of four practica where students are involved in hypothetical and actual counselling situations. These are offered during the regular semester.

Degrees can be completed in four semesters and two summers as a full-time student. Part-time study options are also available.
