who wish to take 30 units beyond the master degree to meet
educational and vocational objectives.
Each student's program will be designed to meet individual
needs and goals. Students may enroll in fewer than 30 units in order
to meet educational and vocational objectives. Students who already
possess a master degree in counseling or a closely related
field from an accredited institution may apply to Towson University
specifically to enter the CAS program.
