Elizabeth City, NC – April 02, 2015.
Mid-Atlantic Christian University has been ranked 4th among the top 25 colleges and universities for students to study Psychology or Counseling in an article released March 3, 2015 (The Top 25 Small Colleges for a Counseling Degree, by Kirsten Hughes). Colleges and universities with less than 3,000 students were evaluated from the Institute of Education Sciences’ College Navigator on the basis of regional accreditation, graduation rates, retention rates, and net price.
Dr. D. Clay Perkins, President of MACU noted that “MACU’s counseling program is one of the finest in the nation. I am extremely glad to see that in the last two months independent evaluating organizations have recognized the high quality of our counseling and psychology program.”
Mid-Atlantic Christian University integrates a Christian worldview into the total fabric of the academic disciplines. The counseling program at MACU prepares students to serve as pastoral counselors, human and social services positions, and marriage and family ministry. Students pursuing a degree in counseling are provided an exceptional foundation preparing them for graduate studies in psychology and counseling.
One benefit of studying in a small school is that students develop a deeper connection and interaction with their peers and faculty. This one-on-one connection with a faculty member allows for a mentoring relationship that maximizes a student’s educational experience.
Mid-Atlantic alumni serve in 48 states, 1 territory, the District of Columbia, and 25 countries. MACU is an institution of higher learning that is committed to helping all, regardless of income and status, receive a high quality faith-based education that prepares them for service in the marketplace or in the church.
