Student review [#55108] for Counselling Psychology
at Yorkville University

A hard pass.
Do not go to Yorkville University.

I completed Master’s of Counselling Psychology (MACP) up to practicum with 4+ GPA, before getting dismissed from my practicum site for the crime of refusing my practicum supervisor’s identity-politics-motivated compelling of my speech (“misgendering”).

Yorkville automatically failed me as a result.
I appealed this injustice for over a whole year, supplying mountain of evidence and logical arguments to justify my actions, but they did not care, as it did not align with the political orthodoxy that they are religiously adhering to without question. They even assigned me to re-education, which was their attempt to gaslight me into submission.

The corruption and incompetence of the Yorkville’s bureaucrats and administrators cannot be ignored, with them outright valuing adherence to radical leftist precepts over their institutional duty to train skilled counsellors and therapists. Given that these jokers are in charge of running the university, it is only a matter of time before it and its degrees fades into irrelevance.

As for the program’s educational content in general, it is minimal and subpar. The depth of knowledge in their materials is shallow at best. To put it in perspective, I would say at least 95% of my total learnings during the course came from self-study of non-course-related material. The MACP program is extremely bare-boned.

Regarding its online nature, this is overwhelming a detriment. While I can understand the lure of convenience, the costs (and cons) are too great to justify it. For example, in MACP, Discussion Questions (DQs) assignments are present for almost all courses where they attempt to get students to interact with and debate one another while expressing their understanding of course material. In reality, it is mostly a space characterised by students’ sequential regurgitation of course material. Real debate is near non-existent, as students try to fulfill their weekly quota of posts as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Spend your money elsewhere if you actually want an education, or if you just don’t want to pay for these ideological clowns’ salaries.
