We invite prospective students to join us for a Virtual Information Session, where faculty members, program graduates, and current students will welcome you and be ready to answer your questions. For more information, please Register for a Virtual Information Session.

Welcome!

Welcome to the program of Graduate Studies in Professional Counseling (GSPC)! We are located at the School of Education, Psychology, and Counseling, on the beautiful campus of Southern Adventist University. We are glad that you are visiting us on this page.

If you have never been to Southern in person, come and spend some time with us. We are near Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and minutes away from breathtaking waterfalls, historical parks, underground caves, and hiking trails. You will not regret it!

Take a look around our website and be sure to let us know if we can help you in any way.
