MA Community Care

Master of Arts with a major in Community Care

Many individuals, couples and families utilize human services, faith-based agencies or churches to seek assistance with personal adjustment or relational concerns. Issues such as crisis pregnancies, adjustment to normal life transitions, personal loss and grief, parenting skill enhancement, and enhancement of personal wellness are common non-clinical concerns that lead people to seek out the assistance of lay counselors, peer supports and indigenous people helpers.

The 36-credit-hour Master of Arts in Community Care degree is a non-licensure track that prepares students to provide human-related services in the community. Our program focuses on an integration of sound psychological theory, interpersonal skill development and faith-based principles.

Upon degree completion, you'll be prepared to be a source of care, compassion, and support to persons and families dealing with life adjustment and transitions. Students in the Community Care program are exposed to a variety of learning experiences that enable them to discover ways in which personal faith can be integrated with practice.

The Master of Arts in Community Care degree can be completed onsite at our main campus in Marion, Indiana, or at our Indianapolis-North campus. In addition, the program is available in either blended or online modalities.
