00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.340
Welcome, everybody, to the master's in psychology, program overview.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.160
I'm really happy that you're you're here joining tonight.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.580
Your time means something to me.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.065
It's, time is the most precious commodity that we have.

00:00:17.845 --> 00:00:26.345
I know some people would say health or some people would say money, but you can always get better health most of the time.

00:00:26.405 --> 00:00:31.330
You can always somehow earn more money, but your time, you can never get back.

00:00:31.330 --> 00:00:38.870
So I really, really appreciate you taking your time to sit here and, review this program with me.

00:00:39.650 --> 00:00:45.325
And I wanna let you know that if you have any questions, absolutely put them in the chat.

00:00:46.345 --> 00:00:49.145
I will either try to catch them as we go along.

00:00:49.145 --> 00:00:57.780
And if not, I will catch them at the end, but your question will not go unanswered even if you leave, which don't do that.

00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:58.820
Don't don't leave.

00:00:58.820 --> 00:00:59.620
Stay till the end.

00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:00.440
There's a reason.

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:13.735
But if you do leave for some reason, you know, a dog pees on the floor and you've gotta go, believe me, then I will email, the response to your question.

00:01:13.735 --> 00:01:14.235
Okay?

00:01:14.775 --> 00:01:18.795
So ask away, and, we'll get started here.

00:01:19.255 --> 00:01:19.655
Alright.

00:01:19.655 --> 00:01:21.435
I'm Michelle Robbins.

00:01:21.735 --> 00:01:26.590
I am the admissions adviser for the master's in psychology program.

00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:31.950
And I'll start out, a little bit with some history about that.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:32.930
We start there.

00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:37.730
So Divine Mercy University is a Catholic Christian university.

00:01:38.990 --> 00:01:44.895
So, you can see here, we go beyond psychology here.

00:01:45.675 --> 00:01:51.295
We integrate faith and science and a deep understanding of the human person.

00:01:51.915 --> 00:01:52.415
Alright?

00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:59.450
We were founded in 1999, and that just at our twenty fifth anniversary.

00:01:59.910 --> 00:02:02.490
It's a very special special year for us.

00:02:02.710 --> 00:02:08.635
The program that you're looking at now was launched in 2014.

00:02:10.375 --> 00:02:16.315
So, and I should also note that we are an accredited program with Saks COC.

00:02:16.775 --> 00:02:21.850
This is pretty much the gold standard of accreditation here in The United States.

00:02:21.850 --> 00:02:28.030
It means that we have, met very high academic and ethical standards.

00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:40.215
And I should also tell you that we were founded by a group of psychologists who who wanted a more compassionate approach to psychology that integrated both faith and ethics.

00:02:40.215 --> 00:02:50.660
And the goal was to make psychology, more accessible and to help people flourish both in their personal and professional lives.

00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.020
Alright.

00:02:52.160 --> 00:03:00.615
So just a little bit of history for you, and we're gonna talk about why the program is unique.

00:03:01.415 --> 00:03:08.455
So, for me, the number one reason we are unique is the second bullet, which should be the first bullet.

00:03:08.455 --> 00:03:14.635
But, it is because we were built on that integrative approach to psychology.

00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:22.850
To me, that is the number one reason, that sets us apart from other universities.

00:03:22.990 --> 00:03:29.265
But we are a 100% online program, the one that you're looking at now.

00:03:30.465 --> 00:03:35.845
So our program, the master's in psychology, it's it's really built for real life.

00:03:37.745 --> 00:03:38.965
Let me see here.

00:03:39.185 --> 00:03:42.270
A little k.

00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:44.670
Welcome everybody that's just joining now.

00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:50.570
But, anyway, so, it's built for life.

00:03:50.570 --> 00:03:54.910
It's built for all of your commitments, everything that you have going on in your life.

00:03:55.745 --> 00:03:57.845
You can make it work with your busy schedule.

00:03:57.905 --> 00:04:07.045
It's a structured program, yet it's flexible, and it enables you to work at your own pace yet keep up with the program demands.

00:04:09.350 --> 00:04:13.210
Can I say, I'm gonna save this sixteen and twenty six month?

00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:17.350
I'll talk about that more in a little bit for you.

00:04:17.350 --> 00:04:17.850
Okay?

00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:22.410
More reasons we are unique.

00:04:22.845 --> 00:04:30.465
These next four kind of tie into each other, and it begins with the small student faculty ratio.

00:04:31.085 --> 00:04:31.485
Right?

00:04:31.485 --> 00:04:35.665
So we have small classes, and we did that by design.

00:04:35.725 --> 00:04:38.205
We did it on purpose, so you can't hide.

00:04:38.205 --> 00:04:38.550
No.

00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:39.290
I'm just kidding.

00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:44.330
We did that on purpose so that you get plenty of attention from our faculty.

00:04:45.030 --> 00:04:46.890
We want you to have feedback.

00:04:46.950 --> 00:04:54.625
We want you to have that robust, education, and the best way we can do that is by keeping our classes small.

00:04:57.805 --> 00:05:14.540
You'll hear it said a lot, maybe you won't, but I have heard a lot, that, the community feel amongst the cohort, even though it's a it's an online program, there is a a strong sense of community amongst the cohort.

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.980
And a lot of people go on and maintain those relationships even after graduation.

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.815
So it's pretty special when you have that kind of interaction going on.

00:05:24.815 --> 00:05:25.795
You really bond.

00:05:27.135 --> 00:05:31.795
And, let me see the experienced and supportive faculty.

00:05:32.575 --> 00:05:34.995
Another reason we keep our class small.

00:05:35.455 --> 00:05:50.550
But I should let you know that our faculty, they they have a doctoral level training and real world experience, with integrating both psychology and faith.

00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:53.770
And that is because a lot of them have their own practices.

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:58.955
So they they are practicing and, and they're teaching.

00:05:59.495 --> 00:06:01.755
So just a little note for you.

00:06:02.615 --> 00:06:03.115
Alright.

00:06:04.215 --> 00:06:10.710
We're now going to talk about, some of the benefits of the master's in psychology program.

00:06:10.710 --> 00:06:12.950
I won't go and read all of these things.

00:06:12.950 --> 00:06:14.410
You can look through them.

00:06:15.590 --> 00:06:27.585
But I will say one of the things that I have heard, from many students over time about the program is that they describe it as cathartic.

00:06:29.005 --> 00:06:46.510
The program allowed them to work through personal experiences as they're moving through And maybe even unresolved issues from long ago or things that are going on in their life now, and that helps them deepen their understanding of human person.

00:06:46.510 --> 00:06:50.275
It's it's kind of like self care built into the program.

00:06:50.275 --> 00:07:03.620
And that's important because, you know, when you're in a in a role where you're helping people and you're giving, and especially if you're an empathetic person, you give and you give.

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:09.400
And if you don't have a means of taking care of yourself, then you can burn out pretty easily.

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:16.360
So I I really appreciate hearing that feedback from students about this, program.

00:07:16.885 --> 00:07:20.185
I think that is beautiful, and it's important.

00:07:20.485 --> 00:07:26.245
So, let's move on.

00:07:26.245 --> 00:07:26.745
Okay.

00:07:26.965 --> 00:07:33.990
So if you got my email, thank you for coming and for responding to it.

00:07:35.330 --> 00:07:44.150
This is the part of the presitate the point in the presentation where I would be showing you these six concentrations.

00:07:44.690 --> 00:07:45.190
Right?

00:07:46.405 --> 00:07:47.145
They're great.

00:07:47.925 --> 00:07:53.865
So I would normally walk you through all of them, and and we would talk about the differences between them.

00:07:54.325 --> 00:07:57.145
But, I'm trying to give you some inside information.

00:07:57.285 --> 00:07:58.825
This is what the email promised.

00:07:59.205 --> 00:08:04.320
So we are restructuring the masters in psychology program.

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:05.360
Alright?

00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:13.785
And instead of offering our six concentrations here, we're gonna be focusing on two of them.

00:08:13.925 --> 00:08:18.665
And this is gonna start in fall, this upcoming fall.

00:08:19.765 --> 00:08:33.380
The reason the reason for that is because one of the most common things that we have heard over the years, from students is I love the program, but what do I what do I do with my degree?

00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:40.820
And for some reason, people couldn't you know, it was hard for them to understand where they could go with it.

00:08:41.040 --> 00:08:51.845
So that feedback led to this restructuring among other things, but that was a a key thing with this restructuring of the program.

00:08:53.665 --> 00:09:00.390
We had to look at where students were naturally gravitating to as well as far as these six concentrations.

00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:09.830
So, either into leadership or organizational work or in the ministry and pastoral care.

00:09:10.465 --> 00:09:16.165
And so the program, was built around those two key areas.

00:09:17.985 --> 00:09:28.690
So now from the very beginning when a student comes in, they can see exactly where their education, connects to real roles, in the in the world.

00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:36.290
So the great news, okay, is that here are the two concentrations.

00:09:36.670 --> 00:09:42.035
We have organizational leadership is one and pastoral spiritual care.

00:09:42.055 --> 00:09:43.475
Let me show you.

00:09:44.015 --> 00:09:44.495
Oopsie.

00:09:44.495 --> 00:09:45.395
Here we go.

00:09:45.695 --> 00:09:46.995
Here's your sneak peek.

00:09:47.215 --> 00:09:48.515
These are the two concentrations.

00:09:49.135 --> 00:09:52.815
So these are what our focus is going to be.

00:09:52.815 --> 00:09:58.880
Now, the university is still finalizing the details on on these programs.

00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:06.240
The full breakdown hasn't even been put up or published online yet on the website.

00:10:06.380 --> 00:10:14.075
So I can share a general overview of each one of these, but I can't go into real deep detail.

00:10:14.135 --> 00:10:18.155
But that will come and, especially to all of you.

00:10:18.455 --> 00:10:21.915
I will have your names even though I can't see who you are now.

00:10:22.055 --> 00:10:24.940
For For some reason, there's a glitch in my Zoom.

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.840
But after the fact, I'll get a report, and it'll have everybody's names.

00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:40.055
So what I can do is, I can send you more solid information once this has been uploaded or published on the website.

00:10:40.195 --> 00:10:40.695
Okay?

00:10:41.635 --> 00:10:50.135
So let's look at these two briefly, the organizational leadership and the pastoral spiritual spiritual care.

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:59.180
For organizational leadership, this one is gonna be about building and leading programs.

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.220
Let me see.

00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:03.720
I have some notes.

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.865
And when I tell you this is brand new, this is really, really brand new.

00:11:07.865 --> 00:11:14.205
So pardon me if I have to look at my notes because, it's that brand new.

00:11:14.905 --> 00:11:15.405
Okay.

00:11:15.465 --> 00:11:17.405
So organizational leadership.

00:11:20.870 --> 00:11:21.370
Alright.

00:11:21.670 --> 00:11:37.185
I can tell you that this concentration, is going to build on elements from the original masters in psychology program, areas like human formation, motivation, group dynamics.

00:11:37.965 --> 00:11:39.585
But it's gonna go much deeper.

00:11:39.725 --> 00:11:40.225
Alright?

00:11:40.845 --> 00:11:52.620
It adds practical leadership development, conflict management, and program strategy to better prepare you for real world roles across a wide range of settings.

00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:53.980
Alright?

00:11:54.920 --> 00:12:09.435
This concentration's really gonna be designed for students who wanna grow as leaders, and that could literally health care, human services.

00:12:11.015 --> 00:12:15.515
It'll cover a broad scope of areas that you can use this concentration.

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:26.080
You'll learn how to lead people, programs, and organizations with both practical skills and deep insight, into the human person.

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:41.135
So the interesting thing about this one as well is that it's also going to support those pursuing the SHRM, the a s h, RM certification or recertification.

00:12:42.555 --> 00:12:46.960
So, that stands for Society for Human Resources Management.

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:57.280
So it's it's one of the most recognized credentials for professionals in HR management and organizational leadership.

00:12:58.215 --> 00:12:58.715
Okay?

00:12:59.495 --> 00:13:02.955
So that is your organizational leadership.

00:13:03.095 --> 00:13:07.435
And now we'll look at pastoral and spiritual care.

00:13:08.615 --> 00:13:23.260
So this concentration pulls from some of the most meaningful parts of the original program like human growth, flourishing, and the Catholic Christian understanding of the person, but it goes deeper as well.

00:13:24.520 --> 00:13:27.100
The concentration is not just for pastors.

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:27.720
Alright?

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:35.775
It's to track for anyone who feels called to accompany others through suffering, crisis, or spiritual growth.

00:13:36.075 --> 00:13:36.475
Alright?

00:13:36.475 --> 00:13:43.935
So it could be chaplaincy, it could be ministry, health care, hospice, prisons, and even some corporate settings.

00:13:44.530 --> 00:13:45.030
Alright?

00:13:47.010 --> 00:14:11.780
With this one, the interesting little extra is that it supports those pursuing chaplaincy certification through organizations, like NACC, which is the National Association of Catholic Chaplains, and the DCCI, which is the board of Chaplaincy certification, Inc.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.240
Alright?

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:20.900
And those are often required for spiritual care roles, in hospitals, hospice, prisons, or military settings.

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.500
Those are your two new concentrations.

00:14:25.955 --> 00:14:31.335
So I would love to know, you know, where's everybody at?

00:14:31.475 --> 00:14:35.555
Where do you see yourself in either one or the other?

00:14:35.555 --> 00:14:38.995
Is it is it something that looks interesting to you?

00:14:38.995 --> 00:14:40.375
What your feelings are?

00:14:43.530 --> 00:14:44.030
Okay.

00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:47.870
Let's go on to look at now.

00:14:49.450 --> 00:14:57.765
These are the foundation classes that made up each of those six concentrations that we had previously.

00:14:58.065 --> 00:14:58.565
Alright?

00:14:59.025 --> 00:15:06.085
So moving forward, four of these are definitely moving into both concentrations.

00:15:07.025 --> 00:15:08.725
The helping people flourish.

00:15:10.190 --> 00:15:10.930
I'm sorry.

00:15:11.070 --> 00:15:27.045
Helping people flourish, a Catholic Christian understanding of the person, the human growth and development across the lifespan, cognition and emotion and motivation, and the social psychology groups and diversity.

00:15:27.045 --> 00:15:30.825
So these four will move into each of those concentrations.

00:15:31.685 --> 00:15:32.085
Alright?

00:15:32.085 --> 00:15:33.385
We're not losing those.

00:15:35.125 --> 00:15:40.760
So just briefly, the helping people flourish.

00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.780
This is the first class that you will take.

00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:46.980
It's taken alone, and everybody starts with that one.

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:49.320
It's kind of like the foundation for the rest.

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.200
Alright?

00:15:51.305 --> 00:16:03.965
For that one, you discover really how psychology and faith come together to explore human dignity, well-being and flourishing through that Catholic Christian perspective.

00:16:04.700 --> 00:16:05.200
Alright?

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:07.920
Right after that is the human growth and development.

00:16:08.140 --> 00:16:20.405
So this this course, you gain a deeper understanding of how people grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually from infancy all the way up to older age.

00:16:22.545 --> 00:16:24.325
The what are we?

00:16:24.785 --> 00:16:27.045
The developmental psychopathology.

00:16:30.945 --> 00:16:36.600
This course is sorry.

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.980
I lost my place here.

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:43.740
Totally lost my place.

00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:51.805
But, Totally lost my place.

00:16:51.945 --> 00:16:52.265
Okay.

00:16:52.265 --> 00:16:54.125
Cognition, emotion, and motivation.

00:16:54.985 --> 00:16:55.485
Alright.

00:16:55.545 --> 00:17:09.440
So this one, this course is going to look at basically, how the mind works and so how you process emotions and how we think and what drives human behavior.

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:10.880
Alright.

00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:13.740
I know what it was.

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:27.875
So in these two new concentrations, there are two classes, that we are offering that are are brand new that, they just haven't been taught before.

00:17:27.875 --> 00:17:41.420
And so the organizational leadership, that one that one, you're going to we're going to include fundraising, financial management, and grant writing.

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.140
So, very exciting, brand new.

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.720
That one is going to be called Pro six ten.

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.675
And so this one this one is a really good one for nonprofits and ministries at schools.

00:17:56.415 --> 00:18:05.540
Anybody who needs, to secure funding, manage budget, or write strong proposals, That's what this course is going to be about.

00:18:05.540 --> 00:18:16.680
And then for the pastoral and spiritual care, we have a brand new one in that one as well, and it's called death, bereavement, grief, and coping with loss.

00:18:18.045 --> 00:18:18.545
Alright?

00:18:18.605 --> 00:18:32.625
So, this one is it meets a deep and often overlooked need in ministry, how to truly support people through loss.

00:18:33.570 --> 00:18:43.830
So whether you're walking with somebody through illness, trauma, or end of life care, this gives you the tools and insight to be a compassionate and steady presence.

00:18:43.970 --> 00:18:47.190
So those two courses, I mean, it's wonderful.

00:18:48.735 --> 00:18:49.235
Okay.

00:18:51.535 --> 00:18:52.035
Alright.

00:18:52.735 --> 00:19:08.080
So that's just a little bit when the website is updated, you will see the full, course curriculum, and you'll be able to look up the, all of the, course descriptions and and everything.

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:12.560
So, that's just a little bit of a teaser for you.

00:19:12.620 --> 00:19:13.120
Alright?

00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:15.120
Okay.

00:19:15.340 --> 00:19:21.875
So going back to what you can do with your master's in psychology degree.

00:19:21.935 --> 00:19:23.215
You you can do a lot.

00:19:23.215 --> 00:19:24.095
You actually can.

00:19:24.095 --> 00:19:27.295
You know, because, obviously, it's a psychology degree.

00:19:27.295 --> 00:19:31.795
You can move into social and mental, health service positions.

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:33.460
That's a given.

00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:39.220
And then because we are a Catholic Christian university, you can move into ministry.

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.360
That's, you know, pretty standard.

00:19:43.360 --> 00:19:44.580
And then, education.

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.785
But, this degree is actually very diverse, and the diversity comes in the form of this middle column here.

00:19:53.245 --> 00:20:02.330
There are areas that people are surprised that you can use your degree to open the doors for these different things, things like, criminal profiling.

00:20:02.550 --> 00:20:04.870
But you didn't know that, but there it is.

00:20:04.870 --> 00:20:08.170
So little interesting little tidbits.

00:20:09.270 --> 00:20:16.195
And, just demonstrating here that you can take your degree off into the corporate world.

00:20:16.255 --> 00:20:26.040
So, before I came to DMU, I was in the corporate world, and I can tell you that, corporate world needs God and psychology.

00:20:27.540 --> 00:20:31.960
So you can take your degree and, go and help people there.

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:33.720
Alright?

00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:42.775
And we're gonna kinda move into some of the, the things about the program that that won't change.

00:20:43.795 --> 00:20:48.055
Basically, we are we already said 100% online.

00:20:48.915 --> 00:20:53.360
And, also let me see.

00:20:54.300 --> 00:20:55.920
I have no questions yet.

00:20:56.380 --> 00:20:56.880
Okay.

00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:58.160
You guys are easy.

00:20:58.780 --> 00:20:59.280
Alright.

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:11.655
So you have the ability to work anywhere, anytime, and that is because the classes are asynchronous, which means that you do not have to be in front of your computer at a certain time on a certain day.

00:21:12.435 --> 00:21:20.935
You can literally go to the coffee shop with your computer and, take in a discussion board or listen to a lecture.

00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:24.630
As long as you have Wi Fi, you have that ability.

00:21:24.630 --> 00:21:28.090
You can you can take your program anywhere and and work.

00:21:28.470 --> 00:21:28.970
Alright?

00:21:29.030 --> 00:21:35.895
Now some of the professors do offer live they do their live courses.

00:21:36.675 --> 00:21:46.695
And so if you happen to be available, you and some of your cohort could take in a live session, but they're all recorded, so I won't miss anything.

00:21:47.395 --> 00:21:47.895
Alright.

00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:53.970
We work on the platform called Canvas, if anybody's familiar with that.

00:21:54.190 --> 00:22:03.695
It is very user friendly, and you will get a little tutorial when you go through the university, the university orientation.

00:22:05.275 --> 00:22:07.115
We walk you through some of that.

00:22:07.115 --> 00:22:13.695
So you'll have a couple little assignments on how to upload and things like that, but it is very user friendly.

00:22:14.315 --> 00:22:16.710
The five sensory learning, points.

00:22:16.710 --> 00:22:23.850
So we want you to know here that we understand and appreciate that people don't learn in the same way.

00:22:23.910 --> 00:22:27.450
So, some people are auditory learners.

00:22:27.590 --> 00:22:29.210
Some people are visual learners.

00:22:29.270 --> 00:22:39.585
And so we want you to know that we have the tools available for you to learn in a way that makes sense for you and that's best for you.

00:22:39.725 --> 00:22:40.225
Alright?

00:22:40.685 --> 00:22:43.505
And then there's that weekly individualized feedback.

00:22:43.565 --> 00:22:45.440
Again, It is a thing here.

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.940
You will hear back from your professor professors.

00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:52.980
And okay.

00:22:53.120 --> 00:22:55.060
Now we're getting into the nitty gritty.

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:55.700
Alright?

00:22:56.985 --> 00:23:03.705
So this page is based off of the twenty six month track.

00:23:03.705 --> 00:23:04.205
Okay?

00:23:04.585 --> 00:23:06.825
I'll talk about those two tracks in a minute.

00:23:06.825 --> 00:23:09.545
But, so this is based off of that.

00:23:09.930 --> 00:23:14.270
Thirty three credit hour program, which breaks down to 11 courses.

00:23:14.410 --> 00:23:25.790
There is a technology fee that is tacked on to each course, and that's for platform access as well as any tech help that you might need.

00:23:25.815 --> 00:23:29.115
To me, that right there is worth its weight in gold.

00:23:30.055 --> 00:23:31.735
I am that person that's like, help me.

00:23:31.735 --> 00:23:32.475
Help me.

00:23:33.335 --> 00:23:33.975
But yes.

00:23:33.975 --> 00:23:36.455
And and our support team is wonderful too.

00:23:36.455 --> 00:23:37.355
Very responsive.

00:23:38.290 --> 00:23:38.790
Alright.

00:23:38.930 --> 00:23:41.190
And you'll see there's a residency fee.

00:23:41.570 --> 00:23:42.710
There's a residency.

00:23:42.770 --> 00:23:43.910
You have a residency.

00:23:44.530 --> 00:23:46.790
It is a two day residency.

00:23:46.930 --> 00:23:48.630
It's online, so don't worry.

00:23:48.770 --> 00:23:49.990
It's a Zoom call.

00:23:50.050 --> 00:23:58.655
You'll be in with your cohort and your professor, and, it's usually the seventh week of that first class.

00:23:58.955 --> 00:23:59.455
Okay?

00:23:59.515 --> 00:24:03.215
And I understand that it's a nice respite.

00:24:03.355 --> 00:24:11.260
So, you know, you may have been grinding away, doing your work, and, you know, head down and busy, busy, busy.

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:16.920
But, then comes this residency, and I I just heard some nice respite from that.

00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:18.360
So alright.

00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:26.425
And here's the bottom line, and I want you to know that this bottom line really doesn't exist, honestly.

00:24:27.685 --> 00:24:28.585
Here's why.

00:24:29.605 --> 00:24:31.445
So here's why.

00:24:31.445 --> 00:24:33.145
There's so much good stuff here.

00:24:33.445 --> 00:24:33.945
Alright.

00:24:34.565 --> 00:24:37.770
Because we are accredited, we do have the federal student loans.

00:24:38.330 --> 00:24:40.590
So if you wanted to go that route, you could definitely.

00:24:41.450 --> 00:24:46.510
You wanna have a conversation with your employer because there's employer tuition reimbursement.

00:24:47.050 --> 00:24:56.145
You you definitely want to try and, you know, get what you can, as far as that's concerned.

00:24:56.685 --> 00:24:58.145
We have veterans funding.

00:24:59.325 --> 00:25:00.145
Let's see.

00:25:00.685 --> 00:25:02.065
Scholarships and grants.

00:25:02.125 --> 00:25:04.205
Here's where I really wanna point out.

00:25:04.205 --> 00:25:04.685
Alright?

00:25:04.685 --> 00:25:13.610
Now we're gonna go on a little trip here to the web page, the financial aid web page.

00:25:13.670 --> 00:25:14.170
Okay?

00:25:14.870 --> 00:25:17.350
So financial there's so much good stuff here.

00:25:17.350 --> 00:25:20.410
So first of all, we'll start with the scholarships and grants.

00:25:20.470 --> 00:25:20.970
Okay?

00:25:21.865 --> 00:25:24.265
These are what we have basically in house.

00:25:24.265 --> 00:25:25.485
This is what we offer.

00:25:25.545 --> 00:25:27.945
There's something for everybody here.

00:25:27.945 --> 00:25:35.760
So you go down this list and see what it is that you are eligible for.

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:36.240
Alright?

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.420
There's just a whole list of things here.

00:25:38.800 --> 00:25:39.300
Alright?

00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:55.995
And, how this typically goes is that after you complete your application, it kinda gets the ball rolling, and financial aid, will do their thing on their end, and you'll have a meeting with them, a one on one meeting with financial aid.

00:25:56.775 --> 00:26:08.940
And, you want to let them know, what it is that you think you're gonna try to, apply for, all the things that you are eligible for.

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.340
Okay?

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:11.120
Some of these, they have criteria.

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:15.340
Some of them, you might have to write an essay and but just go through that.

00:26:15.340 --> 00:26:22.335
But in addition to that, if you go, again, financial aid tab, go down to tuition partnerships.

00:26:22.715 --> 00:26:26.315
Now this list is not even the exhaustive list.

00:26:26.315 --> 00:26:34.175
This is a partial list of affiliations that we have with other diocese and organizations and schools.

00:26:34.635 --> 00:26:47.380
So it's important for you to let financial aid know in that meeting that you have with them all of the affiliations because then what financial aid does is they find biggest bang for your buck.

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:50.895
So each of these, they all have their, discounts.

00:26:51.035 --> 00:26:52.655
They all have discounts available.

00:26:52.715 --> 00:27:01.595
And so financial aid does their their work, and, they will find everything that they can to help get that tuition down.

00:27:01.595 --> 00:27:02.095
Alright?

00:27:02.715 --> 00:27:05.720
Now here's another tab.

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:08.680
I only just learned of this.

00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:12.820
So, I'll show it to you, the types of aids.

00:27:12.820 --> 00:27:19.495
So this is just describing some of the things I just talked about, but different options for you to to consider.

00:27:20.755 --> 00:27:26.215
Here's what I just learned about, the alternative private loan programs.

00:27:26.995 --> 00:27:28.375
Please check this out.

00:27:28.435 --> 00:27:44.660
So you go in here, select your program, choose graduate, and then, it's going to pop up some different options as far as loans out there that you can apply for.

00:27:46.085 --> 00:27:54.485
Some of the interest rates might be better than the student loans, so you're gonna wanna check this out and see if it's an option for you.

00:27:54.485 --> 00:27:54.985
Okay?

00:27:55.445 --> 00:27:57.205
There's a lot to look at here.

00:27:57.205 --> 00:27:58.800
I threw a lot at you.

00:27:58.800 --> 00:28:09.460
And what I'll do is if you are interested, I can follow everybody up with an email that includes these links, or I can let me see.

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:19.875
I actually copied them down somewhere, and the links to the page, so that you can go back and check it out yourself.

00:28:19.875 --> 00:28:20.375
Alright?

00:28:20.675 --> 00:28:23.415
It is under the financial aid tab.

00:28:24.835 --> 00:28:25.735
Here we go.

00:28:26.230 --> 00:28:28.050
I found it.

00:28:28.630 --> 00:28:32.970
I'll put it in the chat, and, you can check those out.

00:28:33.190 --> 00:28:33.510
K?

00:28:33.510 --> 00:28:40.010
I know finances, it's a big one for people, and we understand that.

00:28:42.465 --> 00:28:47.925
So we do what we can, on our end.

00:28:48.465 --> 00:28:51.125
Also, before I leave this page I'm sorry.

00:28:51.745 --> 00:28:52.725
Cash plans.

00:28:52.785 --> 00:28:54.145
So we do have cash plans.

00:28:54.145 --> 00:28:55.505
They are interest free.

00:28:55.505 --> 00:28:58.340
It's kinda like when you set up a car payment.

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:59.560
It's a month to month.

00:29:00.020 --> 00:29:00.520
Alright?

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:04.040
That brings that number down as well to where it's more manageable.

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:13.875
But unlike unlike a car payment, see, when you drive your, your degree off of the lot, it will not depreciate.

00:29:13.935 --> 00:29:15.955
It'll it'll increase in value.

00:29:16.095 --> 00:29:19.395
So little something for you.

00:29:20.175 --> 00:29:20.675
Alright.

00:29:21.135 --> 00:29:32.750
So the sixteen month and the twenty six month, this is also going to remain the same in, for the the restructuring of the master's in psychology program and how we did it before.

00:29:32.750 --> 00:29:33.570
This remains.

00:29:34.430 --> 00:29:39.745
The sixteen month, you can see here, it it offers a reduction in tuition.

00:29:39.805 --> 00:29:45.105
So that's definitely a consideration when you're, you know, tracking pennies.

00:29:45.965 --> 00:29:48.145
The twenty six month is your traditional.

00:29:48.205 --> 00:29:51.905
It's what most graduate programs kinda linger around that time.

00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.260
So what does this look like?

00:29:55.560 --> 00:30:04.575
Well, obviously, you get through faster with the sixteen month, but you have to kinda really look at what you've got going on in your life and and think about it.

00:30:05.055 --> 00:30:06.735
It's great to get through it faster.

00:30:06.735 --> 00:30:11.155
It's definitely possible we would never set you up for failure.

00:30:11.295 --> 00:30:14.995
So, that said, this is what it looks like.

00:30:16.175 --> 00:30:21.260
Sixteen month is you're taking two classes at a time, basically.

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:21.900
Alright?

00:30:22.280 --> 00:30:25.020
Twenty six month, you're taking one class at a time.

00:30:25.560 --> 00:30:41.355
So practically speaking and time commitment wise, with the sixteen month, for one class, alright, you're looking at anywhere from between eight and fifteen hours per week per class.

00:30:41.895 --> 00:30:48.760
And I know that's like a a vast time, you know, what do you say?

00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:50.680
There's a big that's a big gap.

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.140
Right?

00:30:51.140 --> 00:30:52.040
Eight to fifteen.

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:57.220
But the reason being, some people are gonna move through material faster than others.

00:30:57.220 --> 00:31:09.135
So if you just know that okay, that's the time commitment for one class, it kind of helps you to restructure things, commitments, things, you know, you you have to rework in your life.

00:31:09.835 --> 00:31:14.010
So if you're taking the sixteen month, you're gonna double that.

00:31:14.790 --> 00:31:22.650
And, that's between discussion boards and papers, lectures, all of those things.

00:31:22.870 --> 00:31:25.755
That's what factors in assignments, all of that.

00:31:26.235 --> 00:31:26.555
Alright?

00:31:26.555 --> 00:31:32.575
In the twenty six month, you're just taking one course at a time, and it's the scenic route.

00:31:32.635 --> 00:31:40.070
You can just kind of move through it and, little less aggressive.

00:31:40.690 --> 00:31:48.550
Because the sixteen month is aggressive, but, if you really want to, you definitely you you can do it.

00:31:48.850 --> 00:31:49.350
Alright?

00:31:49.410 --> 00:31:50.630
Do I have any questions?

00:31:51.090 --> 00:31:52.550
You all are so silent.

00:31:53.135 --> 00:31:54.595
Is anybody even there?

00:31:56.495 --> 00:31:56.995
Alright.

00:31:58.815 --> 00:32:00.675
We are almost finished, though.

00:32:00.735 --> 00:32:03.715
So, these are your requirements.

00:32:03.775 --> 00:32:04.755
They're pretty straightforward.

00:32:06.270 --> 00:32:15.090
We need the transcripts from your bachelor's degree with at least a 2.5 GPA, two recommendation requests.

00:32:15.150 --> 00:32:22.105
Now here, if you don't remember anything else that I say, have backups.

00:32:22.245 --> 00:32:37.870
Have, like, four or five people to, be your recommenders because for some reason, sometimes, your first two flake.

00:32:37.870 --> 00:32:38.590
I don't know why.

00:32:38.590 --> 00:32:41.390
I don't know if if they're not checking their email.

00:32:41.390 --> 00:32:42.270
I'm not sure.

00:32:42.270 --> 00:32:46.510
But it happens, and we just don't want you to get held up.

00:32:46.510 --> 00:32:47.730
So have some backups.

00:32:47.790 --> 00:32:51.775
And, literally, it's it's not much of a time commitment.

00:32:52.555 --> 00:32:55.135
It is ten to twenty minutes of their time.

00:32:55.755 --> 00:32:59.275
They receive a link, and they open the link, and it's a form.

00:32:59.275 --> 00:33:06.010
And the form are a series of questions about you and, how well they know you and all of these things.

00:33:06.070 --> 00:33:08.470
And it rates from one to five.

00:33:08.470 --> 00:33:08.870
Alright?

00:33:08.870 --> 00:33:12.410
And then there are a few places for them to leave comments.

00:33:12.550 --> 00:33:16.090
So it's not the stressful letter that they have to generate.

00:33:16.950 --> 00:33:18.090
It's pretty straightforward.

00:33:19.055 --> 00:33:24.175
But for some reason, people flake, and that's okay.

00:33:24.175 --> 00:33:25.315
So have your backups.

00:33:25.935 --> 00:33:26.335
Alright.

00:33:26.335 --> 00:33:39.180
We need a a resume, a current resume, and a written statement of intent, which the written statement of intent is just, a 500 word essay, basically, one one page.

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.720
And, it's your time to shine.

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:51.325
It's your time to, talk about what your what your goals are, what your passions are, and, if the program aligns to that.

00:33:51.705 --> 00:33:52.105
Alright?

00:33:52.105 --> 00:33:57.565
And I have more, you know, help with that if you need it.

00:33:58.425 --> 00:34:05.000
The TOEFL, if if needed, this is for non native English speaking people.

00:34:05.540 --> 00:34:05.700
Alright?

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:13.160
Once these things are in place, we set you up for the virtual, the virtual orientation.

00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:14.280
Alright?

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:17.640
So I see there are finally a couple questions.

00:34:17.700 --> 00:34:18.520
Thank you.

00:34:21.905 --> 00:34:22.965
How many GB?

00:34:24.305 --> 00:34:24.785
Okay.

00:34:24.785 --> 00:34:25.925
Help me out here.

00:34:26.865 --> 00:34:28.085
Too many acronyms.

00:34:29.265 --> 00:34:30.465
My my mind.

00:34:31.025 --> 00:34:31.525
GB.

00:34:32.790 --> 00:34:33.610
What is that?

00:34:34.550 --> 00:34:36.790
And when does fall registration start?

00:34:36.790 --> 00:34:37.110
Okay.

00:34:37.110 --> 00:34:38.410
So it starts now.

00:34:39.030 --> 00:34:41.210
You can get in there and start with your application.

00:34:42.230 --> 00:34:45.430
If you complete your application oh, good news.

00:34:45.430 --> 00:34:46.230
I got good news.

00:34:46.230 --> 00:34:51.815
So you want to wait until the end to get all this good news.

00:34:52.375 --> 00:34:59.515
If you complete your application by June 20, I believe now I'm pretty sure it's June 20.

00:35:00.215 --> 00:35:03.700
The start date for fall, let me just say, is August 20.

00:35:03.700 --> 00:35:04.200
Okay?

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:10.820
But if you complete your application by June 20, you get let me see.

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:14.040
Let me get my link out for you and get it all ready.

00:35:14.980 --> 00:35:20.105
You get an early admission scholarship.

00:35:20.645 --> 00:35:21.045
Alright?

00:35:21.045 --> 00:35:22.405
You don't even have to do anything.

00:35:22.405 --> 00:35:23.785
Just fill out an application.

00:35:24.085 --> 00:35:32.490
And when I say fill out an application, that does not mean to have your, your recommendations in or your transcripts.

00:35:32.550 --> 00:35:34.970
That's literally just the, application.

00:35:35.750 --> 00:35:36.150
Right?

00:35:36.150 --> 00:35:42.010
So if you get that in by June 20, it's a $1,500, scholarship.

00:35:42.815 --> 00:35:44.275
So that's something.

00:35:45.135 --> 00:35:50.355
Let me find the link, and, I'll post that in there as well.

00:35:53.135 --> 00:35:54.515
It should be here.

00:35:54.895 --> 00:35:55.395
Sorry.

00:35:56.370 --> 00:36:03.190
I had all of this stuff together, and then everything kind of got a little here we go.

00:36:04.370 --> 00:36:06.310
And see what else can I tell you?

00:36:10.055 --> 00:36:12.155
Oh, I can tell you.

00:36:14.135 --> 00:36:16.955
Once I find this link, it's here.

00:36:17.335 --> 00:36:17.835
Okay.

00:36:17.895 --> 00:36:19.035
Any other questions?

00:36:19.655 --> 00:36:20.375
No problem.

00:36:20.375 --> 00:36:22.395
You are very welcome for that link.

00:36:25.350 --> 00:36:26.390
Let me see.

00:36:26.390 --> 00:36:27.370
Here we go.

00:36:30.470 --> 00:36:31.210
My goodness.

00:36:31.270 --> 00:36:32.010
I apologize.

00:36:33.270 --> 00:36:39.615
So I can definitely follow-up with an email with the link.

00:36:39.675 --> 00:36:42.395
And there's also up here it is.

00:36:42.395 --> 00:36:43.775
It's right there.

00:36:44.075 --> 00:36:44.575
Okay.

00:36:47.995 --> 00:36:48.475
Okay.

00:36:48.475 --> 00:36:50.335
Here's the application link.

00:36:50.395 --> 00:36:50.875
Alright?

00:36:50.875 --> 00:36:53.935
And along with the application link, there's a code here.

00:36:55.250 --> 00:37:04.130
The code is to waive the, the fee, the enrollment, the application fee.

00:37:04.130 --> 00:37:04.630
Alright?

00:37:04.850 --> 00:37:10.415
So if you plop that code in there when you come to that point on the application, it will waive that fee.

00:37:10.415 --> 00:37:10.895
Alright?

00:37:10.895 --> 00:37:15.135
And that is just a thank you for your time and for hanging out with me.

00:37:15.135 --> 00:37:17.315
And, yes.

00:37:17.535 --> 00:37:19.535
Let's see what else can I give you?

00:37:19.535 --> 00:37:29.790
So remember, if you get your application in by June 20, there's an early admission, scholarship for $1,500.

00:37:29.790 --> 00:37:30.290
Alright?

00:37:31.710 --> 00:37:34.030
The application shouldn't take long at all.

00:37:34.030 --> 00:37:38.865
It's it's usually like a twenty to thirty minute process to get through.

00:37:38.925 --> 00:37:47.485
And, also, I'm gonna put in the contact below, my email as well as, a calendar link.

00:37:47.485 --> 00:38:02.840
So if you want some time, a one on one meeting to review anything, maybe you have questions and you don't wanna put them in the chat, by all means, set up a meeting, and, we can chat.

00:38:03.140 --> 00:38:12.555
But, this is the point where we do a little evaluating.

00:38:12.935 --> 00:38:19.890
So if anybody didn't have any questions, no?

00:38:20.590 --> 00:38:21.330
No questions?

00:38:24.110 --> 00:38:26.610
I feel like I'm getting off too easy here.

00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:29.810
I'm happy.

00:38:30.435 --> 00:38:30.675
Yes.

00:38:30.675 --> 00:38:31.175
Please.

00:38:31.235 --> 00:38:32.355
Absolutely, Robert.

00:38:32.355 --> 00:38:42.855
I'm I'm happy to to talk with you, especially anybody that joined after I shared the restructuring of the program.

00:38:44.210 --> 00:38:49.010
You know, you might have missed part of that, and so I can I can talk to you about that?

00:38:49.010 --> 00:38:56.290
But right now, I just I guess I would wanna ask you, does this program align?

00:38:56.290 --> 00:39:02.735
Is it is it something that you can, you can see working in your life?

00:39:02.735 --> 00:39:04.655
Can you fit it in?

00:39:04.655 --> 00:39:10.355
Is it something that, aligns with what you wanna do, your own personal mission?

00:39:11.040 --> 00:39:16.740
If if so, then I definitely would encourage you to go ahead and complete an application.

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:22.640
The application, just so you know, doesn't lock you in at all.

00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:29.555
But what it does do is it saves your space, which, remember, we said we are we have smaller classes.

00:39:29.855 --> 00:39:31.715
So that's just a fact.

00:39:32.255 --> 00:39:42.780
And, so it saves your space, and it kinda gets the ball rolling for financial aid so that, you know, they can do their part, and we can get you set up with that one on one meeting with them.

00:39:42.780 --> 00:39:48.880
Because the sooner you know in that area, what your situation is, the better.

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:50.000
Alright?

00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:52.380
And, let me see.

00:39:52.380 --> 00:39:53.520
Did I miss any?

00:39:55.305 --> 00:40:01.165
Is there any well, we just passed our summer, so I guess I should have said that.

00:40:01.705 --> 00:40:03.865
So we have three starts during the year.

00:40:03.865 --> 00:40:07.085
We have our summer, which we just started, today.

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.120
Yes.

00:40:08.120 --> 00:40:08.620
Today.

00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:15.160
Today was the start of summer classes, and summer classes are they're an abbreviated session.

00:40:15.160 --> 00:40:18.680
It's an eight week session versus fall and spring.

00:40:18.680 --> 00:40:20.460
Those are the other two start times.

00:40:20.735 --> 00:40:22.915
They are sixteen week semesters.

00:40:23.135 --> 00:40:23.635
Alright?

00:40:24.255 --> 00:40:33.215
So when we were talking about the sixteen month option, when you are locked into that not locked into that.

00:40:33.215 --> 00:40:38.190
When you signed up to do that one, you're taking your two classes.

00:40:38.570 --> 00:40:43.850
You're taking two in that first eight week period and then two in that second eight week period.

00:40:43.850 --> 00:40:44.650
There's no break.

00:40:44.650 --> 00:40:47.070
So, it's aggressive.

00:40:47.450 --> 00:40:47.950
Alright?

00:40:48.010 --> 00:40:50.270
So, but it's doable.

00:40:50.730 --> 00:40:51.870
Absolutely doable.

00:40:52.705 --> 00:40:53.205
Right.

00:40:55.425 --> 00:41:05.525
So you're still considering, Christopher, between the psychology and counseling masters, want to be a licensed counselor for autistics.

00:41:06.640 --> 00:41:11.760
Is there a pre well, there there is a presentation for that, but I just can't show that to you.

00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:18.340
That is, let me put I have some more cut and pasting here for you.

00:41:19.125 --> 00:41:37.040
You're gonna wanna reach out to either one of our, admissions advisers for the masters of counseling program if that's, you know, what your what your desire is, and I I do have their contact info.

00:41:38.300 --> 00:41:38.800
Mhmm.

00:41:39.020 --> 00:41:39.680
I do.

00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:41.520
I really do.

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:44.640
Just have to find it.

00:41:47.265 --> 00:41:47.765
Mhmm.

00:41:48.145 --> 00:41:52.965
This is gonna be a learning lesson for me to have everything together next time.

00:41:54.305 --> 00:42:01.260
So there are two admissions advisers for you to reach out to if you are looking at the counseling.

00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:19.495
If it would help you, I do have a PDF that, kinda lays out both programs side by side so that you can you can see what the differences are, you know, realistically.

00:42:19.795 --> 00:42:24.215
And I can send that to you, if you would like.

00:42:25.155 --> 00:42:27.575
And wow.

00:42:28.340 --> 00:42:29.620
It's so bad.

00:42:29.620 --> 00:42:31.320
I cannot find my information.

00:42:32.580 --> 00:42:35.640
And I promise you, I had it all ready.

00:42:37.940 --> 00:42:38.440
Okay.

00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:40.280
This is it.

00:42:40.340 --> 00:42:40.980
This is it.

00:42:40.980 --> 00:42:41.620
My goodness.

00:42:41.620 --> 00:42:42.315
Here we go.

00:42:42.555 --> 00:42:45.615
So the master's in counseling admissions advisers.

00:42:45.755 --> 00:42:46.655
Here we go.

00:42:47.275 --> 00:42:47.675
Alright.

00:42:47.675 --> 00:42:53.855
If you'd like to reach out, and then they they definitely can go through a presentation with you about that.

00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:55.060
Oh, yes.

00:42:55.060 --> 00:42:56.180
Definitely, Maria.

00:42:56.180 --> 00:42:57.880
I'll send that to you as well.

00:42:58.740 --> 00:43:01.880
And are you still able to get licensed with this degree?

00:43:02.180 --> 00:43:02.680
No.

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:07.060
So the master's in psychology, it it is a master's degree.

00:43:07.060 --> 00:43:22.235
It does not need to, licensure, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater because there are many things that you're doing with this degree that you can do in the master's of counseling.

00:43:22.535 --> 00:43:23.675
There really are.

00:43:24.730 --> 00:43:39.305
One of the biggest differentiators between the programs is that the masters of counseling, you get your your license, and, you're equipped to, diagnose and treat mental illness.

00:43:40.085 --> 00:43:41.845
So it's it's clinic work.

00:43:41.845 --> 00:43:42.345
Alright?

00:43:42.405 --> 00:43:51.625
And so if that is where your heart is leading and where you wanna go, then that you definitely need to reach out to Charice or Sarah.

00:43:52.085 --> 00:44:11.515
But, a lot of if you if you have a need if you have the desire to help people, in your community, in your church, this program, I would definitely still consider it.

00:44:11.515 --> 00:44:17.695
Just because it doesn't lead to licensure does not mean that you can't do good work with this.

00:44:19.035 --> 00:44:28.790
I think the best way that I've heard and I I don't know if I'm going to say this exactly, as articulate as I heard it.

00:44:28.790 --> 00:44:33.050
But, it's kind of like the masters in psychology.

00:44:34.005 --> 00:44:37.385
You catch them before they need the master's in counseling.

00:44:38.325 --> 00:44:38.825
Alright?

00:44:38.885 --> 00:44:41.785
So, I don't know before or after.

00:44:43.045 --> 00:44:43.525
But yes.

00:44:43.525 --> 00:44:46.165
So the master's in counseling, it's a longer program.

00:44:46.165 --> 00:44:52.840
It's a four year program, complete with an internship, and you have to do the clinical hours.

00:44:52.840 --> 00:45:06.245
And so, and I know during that program, there are three times that you need to go back to you need to visit our campus in Virginia, for the residency.

00:45:06.705 --> 00:45:11.445
So just a few little differences, but I won't go into any more detail than that.

00:45:12.225 --> 00:45:15.845
That is the job for Charice or Sarah.

00:45:15.985 --> 00:45:17.365
So please reach out.

00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:23.980
And, Robert, email me all that you can about these programs so I can make informed choices.

00:45:24.680 --> 00:45:26.680
Interested in counseling as well.

00:45:26.680 --> 00:45:27.180
Okay.

00:45:28.040 --> 00:45:28.540
Alright.

00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:30.840
Counseling is a great way to go.

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:33.535
I mean, we're all under the same DMU umbrella.

00:45:33.595 --> 00:45:43.755
So the most important thing is to is to go where you feel your calling is or your heart is or where God's leading you.

00:45:43.755 --> 00:45:47.420
So if it's with the masters of counseling, by all means.

00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:59.635
But I definitely just don't want you to think that the masters in psychology degree, It's just a master's degree.

00:45:59.635 --> 00:46:01.095
You can do a lot with this.

00:46:01.155 --> 00:46:01.655
Alright?

00:46:03.155 --> 00:46:03.655
Okay.

00:46:04.115 --> 00:46:07.975
So I threw a lot out at you.

00:46:08.035 --> 00:46:15.450
If there is anything that anything more that you want clarification on.

00:46:16.230 --> 00:46:24.150
Please feel free to use that email, my email, or, I'm still here in the chat for another few minutes.

00:46:24.150 --> 00:46:28.245
I'll I'll hang out here in case somebody did have some questions.

00:46:29.745 --> 00:46:34.885
But, yes, I would love to help answer these questions.

00:46:35.025 --> 00:46:39.765

00:48:04.735 --> 00:48:09.950
I don't wanna say yes and then throw you all off if that is not the right answer.

00:48:14.570 --> 00:48:16.350
