Magic Valley Cohort Information

Magic Valley Cohort VI Course Rotation

Northwest Nazarene University presently has a Master of Science degree in Counseling program in Twin Falls with a major in School Counseling, Clinical Counseling, or a dual major in School & Clinical Counseling. Courses are taught on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) on weekends by faculty from NNU.  Magic Valley Cohort VII will begin in 2013.   Non-degree seeking students are welcome to take classes. 

The Twin Falls program is the same as the program we offer on the NNU campus. (Please refer to our website at www.nnu.edu/counseloreducation for a complete listing of program requirements.) It is a three year program with most courses being offered at CSI on weekends. 

COHORT VII:

  • At this point, the Magic Valley Cohort VII is open to new students. Practicing counselors wanting to take extra courses are always welcome.
  • NNU Counselor Education Department reserves the right to adjust the schedule as necessary, though every effort will be made to make very few adjustments.
  • If the size of the cohort drops below seven students, NNU reserves the right to cancel the cohort.
