The program also has a chapter, Alpha Iota Upsilon of Chi Sigma Iota, an international honors society in counseling.

The MACC Program prepares mental health professionals at the master’s level to be competent counselors who can address a range of cognitive, mental, and emotional issues, such as personal growth, adjustment issues, psychosocial and environmental stressors, substance abuse, crisis, and trauma.
