A Message from the Dean

Dear Students and Colleagues,

Welcome to the Graduate School of California Pacific University. As Dean, I am honored to lead an institution committed to developing the next generation of counseling professionals who will make a lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities.

At CPGS, we believe that effective counseling requires more than clinical technique—it demands cultural competence, ethical integrity, and a deep understanding of the human experience. Our programs integrate rigorous academic training with supervised clinical practice to produce graduates who are prepared for the complexities of professional counseling.

Whether you are pursuing a master’s degree to begin your clinical career or a doctoral degree to advance in research and leadership, you will find at CPGS a supportive community of faculty and peers dedicated to your professional growth and personal development.

I invite you to explore our programs and discover how CPGS can help you achieve your professional goals in counseling.

Warm regards,

The Dean
Graduate School, California Pacific University
