Doctor of Professional Counseling
The Doctor of Professional Counseling (DPC) degree was first proposed 2012.[1] Intended as the professional doctorate for Licensed Professional Counselors, the degree was developed to provide advanced training to practicing counselors who already hold master's degrees. The DPC was intended to be similar to the professional practice doctorates developed by the psychology profession (Doctor of Psychogy degree) and social work profession (Doctor of Social Work degree). As all 50 states license Professional Counselors following the earning of a masters degree,[2] no additional license is grated to DPS graduates.
Mississippi College[3] and Karios University[4] both offer the DPS degree through distance education.
