Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
I was just reading up about it and it sounds sooo interesting. Would love to talk to anyone who has this and can tell me what school was like.

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
I didnt know you could get a Masters in that .
I know at EMpire, we have Certified Marriage Counselors and they do not even have bachelors degrees..they are lower in "status" on our list then a CSW.
A Masters would likely get someone A LOT of work in that field....

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
The school right up the block offers it and once I read it I thought WOW, I would love to do that...AND I am thinking I would love to specialize in Marriage Counseling for INfertile couples.

SO DO IT!!!!!
I have recently though of going back to school for nursing( I would lose ALL my current degrees, and classes) to work in the NICU...I would have to struggle to get a position but I think if you want something bad enough it can happen....
DO IT DEB!

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
i was SOOO interested in doing this (i really did want to be either a marriage counselor or a sex therapist....).. but i'm one of those people that will hear something and then automatically assume i have the same issue... so that may not be the best thing for my marriage

That is why I couldnt be a psychologist and had to change ( I went to school psychology program) because I was told by all my professors I was overly sympathizing with people...I wanted to cure them immediatly and seeing people hurt emotionally Makes me ill...LOL
Deb I think you would be great at something like this!

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
Neenie..jsut for your information...not trying to push.
UCF is literally 5 minutes from my house (its the 3rd largest state state school in FL) They are in the process of being approved for a med school and I believe they want to have a nursing program as well.
It's all in the works of getting approved now.

if your major is liberal arts, then you probably have most of the pre-reqs already for the nursing program (i had almost all of them- just need to take anatomy & physiology 1 and 2 before i start the program).. and then its 2 years part time at Nassau for the RN. So you wouldnt really be throwing away your credits if you decided to go that route

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
you mean besides the cheaper real estate?
Sunnier weather? No state taxes, and lower sales/property tax?

You may be able to, but you may have to make up "undergraduate deficiencies." One of my good friends got a BA in English then decided that she wanted to pursue psychology (to the PhD level, which she is now nearly done with). I know she had to take a few courses in psychological statistics at SUNY Farmingdale in between finishing her BA and getting into a Master's program. I think it depends on how technical the program is. Like, someone with an English degree might have a really tough time getting into an engineering program (I would assume).

The nursing program at Suffolk is actually the most competitive on Long Island--they take about 5% of applicants (I used to work in admissions at a competing college so I know these random facts).

Re: Anyone have thier masters in marriage counseling?
I have never heard of a Masters in Marriage Counseling. I have heard of a Masters in counseling with specialization in marriage...I did an internship at Stonybrooks Marriage Counseling Center...Definately a lot harder than one would think!!!
Few things i would look into if i were you.
1. do you have to take the GRE
2. is this an APA accredited school. If not i would pass.

Yes I have to take the GRE and yes it's an APA accredited school.
Here is a little something about it:
The master’s degree prepares students to work in private practice, agencies and other settings as marriage and family therapists. Graduates of the program are expected to have a sense of professional identity, acquire requisite skills and knowledge to work with couples and families, attain licensure and become leaders in the profession.
