Off-Campus Housing
Students have numerous options of finding an accommodation off-campus in nearby areas. Students can have access to studio apartments, paying guest facilities, sharing apartment complexes and many more.
Golden Globe University offers extensive advising services, from the time of application through the time of graduation and beyond. It's possible to connect with a lively GGU community as a student, and the Student Government Association (SGA) promotes the diverse interests of GGU students. In addition to serving as a connection between students and school management, it also serves to integrate the GGU student population and to reflect students' perspectives and interests in all circumstances, as described in the mission statement. Grainger's Student Academic and Cultural Clubs are an important part of the GGU Community experience, and they help the school achieve its purpose of preparing students to lead and serve in an ethical and diverse environment. Several activities, such as conferences, seminars, and guest lecturers are sponsored by student organisations, and each event offers a unique opportunity for learning, networking, and socialising outside of the classroom. The GGU community is united by a single thread: the dedication and commitment required to attend courses while still working full-time. Aside from that, the Golden Gate University Bookstore offers a broad variety of student supplies and is a place where one may display their school enthusiasm by wearing GGU branded shirts and other goods.

Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology
This degree program provides students with the academic and clinical training required to practice relationally informed clinical work and to prepare alumni for employment in a variety of mental health settings, including community mental health agencies, hospitals, schools, and private practice. Our students learn to practice from a stance of cultural humility and to maintain ethical and best practice standards.
Golden Gate University offers a license-eligible Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. The program maintains a strategic partnership with the Psychotherapy Action Network, an organization that aims to organize, formulate initiatives, and collectively advocate for mental health policy that is based on the complexity of the individual and not simply on the identification of discrete symptoms. This is consistent with our program philosophy, which envisions psychotherapy as a complex process of individual growth and change and the therapeutic relationship as a key element in successful treatment.
Traineeship is an integral part of our program, providing an opportunity for students to apply the skills learned in class to the clinical encounter. Students are required to complete 300 face-to-face clinical hours under clinical supervision and to concurrently attend our practicum seminar over the course of at least three trimesters.
Our curriculum meets the MFT licensure requirements as set forth by section 4980.36 of the California Business and Professions (Cal. B&P) code. The program satisfies all the educational requirements set by the California Board of Behavioral Science Examiners and provides some hours of supervised experience fulfilling part of the practical experience requirements. Our curriculum also meets the educational requirements for Licensed Professional Clinical counselor (LPCC) licensure as required by section 4999.33 of the California Business and Professions (Cal. B&P) code. The curriculum also meets the educational requirements for MFT and/or LPCC licensure in some other states. If you intend to pursue licensure outside the state of California or are completing the program, including the traineeship, outside the state of California, speak with a faculty member in the Department of Psychology to discuss the licensure requirements in your state of interest prior to beginning the program.
