Master of Science and Graduate Certificate Programs in Pastoral Care & Counseling

Founded in 1982 with the Pastoral Counseling track, the Graduate Program in Pastoral Care & Counseling actively integrates psychology and spirituality in an ecumenical learning community that is both spiritually nurturing and intellectually challenging. The Neumann approach stresses a developmental understanding of individuals and groups, preparing students to meet the unique mental and spiritual demands of a complex pluralistic world, while responding in a spirit of contemplative love. People of all faiths and spiritual practices are welcome. In 1990, the Spiritual Direction Track was developed to provide training in spiritual direction and additional courses in spirituality.

Neumann College’s Master of Science and Graduate Certificate Programs in Nursing are consistent with the College’s Mission Statement and Vision Statement and the goals of Catholic education in the Franciscan tradition. The purpose of the graduate program in Nursing is to enhance professional nursing practice, based upon the Betty Neuman Systems Model, through the liberal education of individuals who provide advanced nursing care to persons of a diverse population, in varying circumstances and settings. Neumann College’s library maintains the archives for the Neuman Systems Model. It is intended that graduates of the Master’s degree program have a sound educational foundation for advanced professional practice, for continuing

development of that practice, and for accepting both professional and civic responsibilities.
