Clinical Mental Health Counseling


The Master of Science (M.S.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) program at Molloy University is designed to provide graduate students the professional identity, core knowledge, necessary state-of-the-art practical skills, and multi-cultural sensitivity to excel in a variety of mental health settings. Our 60-credit-hour, New York State-approved, part-time, evening program can be completed in three years, and is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The program fulfills the educational requirements for licensure as a Mental Health Counselor established by the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions.

Social Work


A degree in social work offers the opportunity to work in a vast number of fields, in a wide array of settings. The Social Work Program has been granted continuous accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education at the Baccalaureate Level since 1979. Molloy University offers the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) and the collaborative Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service M.S.W. program through our Seamless Option. This affords students the opportunity to earn a Molloy B.S.W. and Fordham M.S.W. in five years (three years for transfer students).
