Yorkville University recently launched The Heart of MACP – a series of one-minute videos that offer a window into Yorkville’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program.
The 13-episode series, which can be accessed HERE, chronicles some of the recent transformations the MACP program has undergone in order to serve students better – from its widened practicum network and comprehensive skills labs, to free skills practice sessions and Insight & Inspire series, among many other improvements.
“At Yorkville University, our aim is to help our students make the progress they want, without having to put their lives on pause. We keep moving towards our aim by continually improving our technology, teaching, ways of working and program offerings,” said Dr. Sarah Stewart-Spencer, Dean of Yorkville’s Faculty of Behavioural Sciences.
“Things at our Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program are no different. Over the past few years, we’ve gone through a transformation as we continue to create meaningful learning experiences for our students. This video series highlights some of those changes that you can see or expect in our program. We hope that sharing our initiatives and goals gives you a clear window into the Heart of MACP.”
