Why Consider a Counseling Minor at Luther?
Prepares you for a traditional counseling degree such as a master’s degree in counseling or social work. You'll learn about the profession, study commonly-used practices, and implement techniques in a supervised setting.
Enhances nearly any major at the college. A counseling minor is an ideal complement to majors like biology, art, business, music, education, and other helping professions.
Provides a fundamental skill set for career success, even for those not working in a traditional therapeutic relationship. Understanding how to effectively manage human concerns is a desirable skill in any profession.
Thinking of a Career in Mental Health or Another Helping Profession?
Here's why Luther's counseling minor is an ideal complement to many fields of study:
- If you're a social work and psychology major, it equips you with important knowledge and a skill set to continue graduate study for a career relating to mental health services.
- If you're pursing another major, it provides the foundation knowledge to help you in your future career.
