Bachelor of Arts in Counseling Psychology
(Coming Soon...)
In development | Transfer-friendly | Tustin, CA & online
ACADEMIC PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
The Bachelor of Arts in Counseling Psychology is being built for students transferring in with community-college credit behind them — people ready to move into counseling coursework without repeating what they’ve already done.
​
As designed, the program brings together three things Kairos has taught for years. Counseling psychology — how people are formed, what wounds them, and what actually helps. Biblical and theological foundations — because care that isn’t anchored in Scripture eventually runs out of something to say. And supervised practical experience, so you graduate having done the work, not just read about it.
It’s built for adults with lives already in motion. Hybrid and online delivery, live over Zoom, around a job and a family and a Sunday morning you’re already committed to.
​
Graduates will be prepared to serve in church care ministry, nonprofit and community organizations, and faith-based helping roles — and to continue toward graduate study in counseling, which at Kairos means our Master of Arts in Counseling with Marriage and Family Therapy.
How long it takes depends on your transcript:
You don’t have to work this out on your own. Once transfer evaluations open, an advisor will read your transcript and tell you which route you’re on. In general it takes one of two shapes.
What’s still being finalized:
We’re being straight with you about where this program stands. The course sequence, transfer evaluation, and start dates are going through institutional review and approval right now. We’d rather tell you that than publish numbers that might move.
​
What we can tell you today: the degree is coming, it’s designed around transfer students, and the people building it are the same faculty already teaching counseling at Kairos. Get on the list and you’ll be the first to see the full details; including exactly how your existing credits will be evaluated.
