Every MABC student gets to choose the project that is right for them. Students can finish their degree with a concentration in counseling practice, training others, or by authoring a thesis.
Upon completion of their oral and written exams, MABC students will choose their desired concentration. Students must complete both classes in their chosen concentration to graduate.
Concentration classes cannot be combined, students must take both classes listed in their chosen concentration. For example, if a student chooses the Counseling Concentration, they must complete BC720 and BC721. A student will not graduate if they complete BC720 and another class that is not BC721.

After completing this analysis, students will craft a strategic plan that addresses these issues they have surveyed. The end-product of this class is a strategic plan that the students will use, in part, for BC 751. |
