Affordable accredited undergraduate college that has a psychotherapy, or counseling, major in Boston Mass?

I am eventually looking to go for a masters in family and marriage counseling. What affordable schools are there in the Boston Massachusetts area that offer a preparatory four year program for what im looking for?

Counselling is usually a graduate degree, not an undergraduate degree. The most common major for counselling grad programs is psychology, whihc U Mass Boston offers.

I'm not sure that there are many affordable schools in Boston since the cost of living (col) is pretty high in that area :) For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ For accredited programs in counselor education: http://www.cacrep.org If interested in social work (may need master's degree, too): http://www.cswe.org Accredited programs in psychology (though, as you may know, one may need a doctorate): http://www.apa.org/education/grad/program-accreditation.aspx General career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search.
