Applicants who have met all requirements for admission to Graduate Studies but who have not met degree program admission requirements are classified as pre-program. While so classified, students may not earn more than twelve semester hours to be applied later toward a MCMH degree. While a student is in pre-program status, no credits earned with less than a B grade will be applied toward the MCMH degree.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, admission criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 listed below must be completed prior to enrollment in any graduate level course. If a student fails to meet these criteria prior to enrollment in graduate classes, the course shall not count toward the M.A. degree.<\/p>\n<p>In all cases, admission to the program must be approved by the MCMH faculty committee following private review of the application by each faculty member. In the case of individuals who have earned graduate credit at another institution, as part of a separate degree program which has been completed (for example, an M.Ed.), or for recertification purposes, the MCMH faculty committee shall decide on a case-by-case basis if the credit already earned shall count toward the M.A. degree. This shall occur, however, only in the case of individuals who have already met all of the admission criteria.<\/p>\n<h5>Admission to the Master of Arts program requires:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>A Bachelor&#8217;s degree from a regionally accredited institution.<\/li>\n<li>Completion of the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Graduate application.<\/li>\n<li>Presentation of evidence of a GPA of 2.50 or better on the last sixty semester hours pursued with a grade of C or better on all pre-requisite courses.

(Six of the nine hours must be completed prior to enrollment in any graduate classes and all prerequisites must be completed within the first semester of enrollment in graduate classes. A grade of C or better must be earned in all pre-requisite courses).<\/li>\n<li>Submission of three satisfactory letters of recommendation.<\/li>\n<li>Satisfactory completion of a personal interview with an MCMH faculty member.<\/li>\n<li>Undergo a criminal background check; specific programs may require additional criminal background checks after matriculation.\u00a0 All background check(s) will be performed by the College\u2019s designated provider and paid for by the student.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Satisfy Graduate Studies admission requirements (see preceding section)<\/li>\n<li>Submit acceptable score on the GRE (verbal plus quantitative minimum score of 800 or GRE formula minimum score of 1100 or 1300 for Educational Leadership). Acceptable scores must be submitted within the first semester of entering a Master&#8217;s program.<\/li>\n<li>Submit proof of teaching license or complete pre-requisite coursework as specified.<\/li>\n<li>Submit completed program application<\/li>\n<li>Submit three letters of recommendation<\/li>\n<li>Complete a satisfactory interview with program emphasis area faculty<\/li>\n<li>Submit a satisfactory score (3.5) on the writing component of the GRE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Post Program Admission<\/h5>\n<p>A candidate for the Master of Arts must fulfill the general requirements for the degree and present acceptable grades for a minimum of\u00a0sixty hours of graduate work with an overall average of B or better in the course of study with not more than six semester hours with the grade of C.

In addition, candidate progress will be assessed at four transition points in the program. Transition point evaluations of candidates will occur at entrance to program, prior to clinical practice, exit from clinical practice, and at program completion. Criteria for successful completion of each transition point will be specified in the program handbook.<\/p>\n<p>The degree is offered in three curriculum areas with one or more concentrations in each. A candidate must follow the prescribed curriculum in the sequence indicated in order to progress to the master&#8217;s degree.

Candidates in the Educational Leadership (K-12) Program must submit a copy of their leadership licensure exam result prior to completion of the internship. Candidates for the M.Ed. in school counseling and the M.A. degree must take comprehensive examinations either in the fall or spring semester. Those students who have finished all course work except for supervised practica or residency may, with the consent of their major professor and program chair, complete the comprehensive examination at the end of the semester (fall or spring) in which that course work is completed. If the student&#8217;s performance on the written examination is unsatisfactory, the student, at the committee&#8217;s discretion, may be permitted to take an oral examination or be required to retake the entire or failed portion(s) of the examination at the next or a later regularly scheduled administration of the examination. A candidate must register for EDFR 594 or 595, COUN 595, or COUN 596 at the beginning of the semester or session in which the examination is to be taken or the portfolio is to be submitted. No special examinations will be given. No candidate will be permitted a third examination.<\/p>\n<h4>Degree Programs<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/catalog-2026-2027\/graduate_studies\/education\/master-of-arts-psychological-counseling\/\">Master of Arts &#8211; Clinical Mental Health Counseling<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/catalog-2026-2027\/graduate_studies\/education\/master-of-arts-teaching\/\">Master of Arts &#8211; Teaching<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/catalog-2026-2027\/graduate_studies\/education\/master-of-education-curriculum-and-instruction\/\">Master of Education &#8211; Curriculum and Instruction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/catalog-2026-2027\/graduate_studies\/education\/master-of-education-educational-leadership\/\">Master of Education &#8211; Educational Leadership<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/catalog-2026-2027\/graduate_studies\/education\/master-of-education-school-counseling\/\">Master of Education &#8211; School Counseling<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"linktext\">[Back] [Top]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kimberly Reynolds, Ph.D. Dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences Office:\u00a0\u00a0222 College of Education and Behavioral Sciences Phone: 985-448-4325 GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS AT A GLANCE Master of Arts Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master of Education Curriculum and Instruction Elementary Education Concentration Secondary Education Concentration Early Childhood Concentration High Incidence Disabilities Concentration Educational Leadership [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":7062,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7067","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
