Academic Advising for Loyola’s
Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care Programs

While one role of academic advising concerns the selection of courses, the Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care programs aim to provide a relationship between student and advisor that focuses on success in the program, professional development, and intellectual growth as you journey with us.

Master’s of Science and Masters of Art students are assigned a group academic adviser who assists assigned students with academic planning while matriculated in individual pastoral counseling programs.  Ph.D. students and MS/Ph.D. students are assigned a faculty mentor when they are accepted into the program. Read more information concerning the Student-Mentor relationship for Ph.D. students and MS/PhD students.

Student needs are diverse across all of our academic programs and we realize that you may have concerns about your progression through the program, your ability for success in certain academic areas of concern, and the critical balance of life, work, and school. As you proceed through your program of study, it is recommended that you proactively ask your advisor questions, express your concerns, and alert your advisor when any concerning issue arises that may effect your academic standing.
