Is Cornerstone University Accreditted??? Understand their answer is, "Yes, we are privately accredited by Accrediting Commission International." Will you ever be able to "hang your shingle" as a counselor, for pay? Not as a "therapist." Perhaps--and only if your state allows you to "consult" without a license. I acquired this degree in 2000. They had no supervised internship requirement. The coursework includes nothing about understanding family systems. It cost me approximately $2000, and at best was "interesting." However, it was useless in prepare me to "counsel." I have since graduated from a program which cost me $30,000, and required 3000 hours of supervised training. I will be able to legally (and ethically) charge for my services, and bill insurances. Don't believe that you will be employable to a church either; they will (or Should) want someone who understands the whole mental health spectrum, so they will not be sued if one of your counselee's chooses to end his/her life.
