MCGA is a division of which professional association?

• A. American Psychological Association
• B. American Counseling Association
• C. American School Counselor Association
• D. National Board for Certified Counselors

Answer: (B)

In professional counseling, large national associations act as umbrella organizations that house specialized groups or divisions to represent different practice areas. The American Counseling Association functions as that umbrella for counselors across settings and specialties, providing structure, resources, and governance for these divisions.

MCGA being described as a division fits this pattern, because it would be one of the focused groups under the broader ACA banner. The other organizations operate in different domains: the American Psychological Association serves psychology, not counseling; the American School Counselor Association is a standalone organization focused on school counseling; and the National Board for Certified Counselors is primarily a credentialing body rather than a divisional umbrella within a professional association.
