Briercrest Seminary has announced significant updates to several of its degree programs, enhancing opportunities for those called to roles in counselling and chaplaincy. One of the standout changes is the addition of two new degrees within the counselling program. The Master of Arts in Couple and Family Therapy and the Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling have been developed to build upon the foundation of the seminary's previous offerings. These updated programs ensure that students are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the modern fields of counselling and psychotherapy.

The seminary has also revised its MDiv degree, making it more streamlined and accessible for a broader range of students. This program features new chaplaincy concentrations, available in both the MDiv program and the Master of Christian Ministries degree. These specializations are particularly beneficial for those pursuing chaplaincy in military or healthcare settings.

For prospective students with prior undergraduate or graduate education in theology, biblical studies, or Christian ministries, the two-year Master of Christian Ministries program with a concentration in chaplaincy offers a targeted pathway into the field. Meanwhile, the MDiv program is designed for those without previous education in these areas, providing comprehensive preparation for roles in spiritual care and chaplaincy.

For prospective students considering a career in counselling or chaplaincy, these updated degrees offer a unique opportunity to gain specialized education within a Christ-centred learning environment.
