Student applications for Spring Practicum are due October 10, 2025
Our students are trained beyond theory to the practical application of clinical interviewing, case conceptualization, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. The student has established the foundational principles and is ready to receive your guidance in clinical fieldwork.
Academically, Grace students are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA (a grade of B or higher in all courses).

It has been my experience that Grace students are well prepared for practicum and internship. In fact, my daughter wants to go into counseling and is hoping to get her college education at Grace based upon my feedback to her about student outcomes.

She is committed to excellence and quite teachable. She is able to establish rapport quickly and work collaboratively with her clients and coworkers alike.

Online Students Bring Diversity
Grace students matriculate from around the world. There are approximately 120 students currently in Grace's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program hailing from US states coast to coast and abroad in other countries through service in the armed forces or missionary organizations.
They come from variety of cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds and range in age from 21 - 67, with 89% being full-time students. Some come to the counseling program straight out of undergrad, others may be establishing a professional career after raising a family, or perhaps have been in successful career but feel the pull to new territory. Whatever the path, they come with a vision to help the people of their community through counseling.
Combining the diversity of geography, cultures, age groups, and personalities in the classroom creates a dynamic learning environment and opens new critical perspectives.
