  21. Part-time students • Be wise! Set a healthy example of self care! • It is not possible to work full time and take 2-3 courses! • Most of the core counselling courses are only offered during the day time • There is a 10 year time limit to complete all requirements for graduation

  22. Course Requirements • 27 semester credits • HOWEVER: internship has an equivalent workload to 4 semester credits (ie about 15 - 20 hours per week for a minimum of two semesters) • But Internship only appears once on your transcript • Effective total: 30 semester credits

  23. Additional Requirements • Time to process the material • Time to interact with other students • Time to explore the personal issues the courses raise • Time to HAVE A LIFE (family, church etc.)

  24. Full Time Students • To complete the degree in 3 years it will be necessary to “fast track” by taking courses in Intersession and Spring/Summer • Always look ahead to see which courses are going to be offered in the Intersession and Spring/Summer sessions

  30. Course Registration • Students can register online for their courses • Some courses now have a maximum enrolment cap • Students may end up on a “waiting list” • Sometimes the waiting list will trigger us to offer a new section of the course, but not always

  31. Course Registration • The Tyndale Calendar (from the Registrar’s section of the website) lists all of the courses and the pre-requisites for each course • The Counselling Major download site has a list of courses that are offered every year and which courses are offered every-other year

  32. Certification/Accreditation • Tyndale will provide an education in counselling theory and practice, but does not offer certification by a professional organization or professional college membership • The College of Psychotherapy is currently in formation and all practicing psychotherapists will need to apply for membership to practice

  33. College of Registered Psychotherapists Membership • Requirements are being decided now by the Transitional Council for Psychotherapists and Registered Mental Health Therapists • Tyndale’s Mdiv (Counselling) degree should satisfy the educational requirements of the College of Psychotherapy

  34. Courses which might be required by the College • Psychopathology, and especially a knowledge of the DSM • Contextual issues (gender, inter-cultural, socioeconomic) • Treatment of trauma and violence • Developmental theory (social, moral, cognitive, etc.)
