Our Mission
The Graduate Centre for Applied Psychology (GCAP) provides a distance education alternative for individuals wishing to prepare for a role as a professional counsellor or counselling psychologist.
The fundamental principle on which our programs are built is a desire to enhance the accessibility, flexibility, and responsiveness of graduate counsellor education programming. The various components of the program are offered through both on-site and distance modes of delivery.
Our goal is to provide students who face various barriers to completing degrees through traditional programs with the opportunity to further their education. The program provides a high-quality alternative for students in the on-campus programs who face scheduling difficulties.
Finally, the program is designed to foster the continuing professional learning of counsellors and psychologists through access to individual graduate courses. We encourage professionals to continually upgrade their knowledge and skills. Professionals may take additional courses as non-program students or complete a Post-Masters Certificate in one of the areas of specialization.
It is our hope that this program will serve as a vehicle for a continuous life-long learning process that will ultimately serve to enhance the professions of counselling and psychology.
