The University of Oklahoma offers a School Counseling Program
of 48 semester
hours leading to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) Degree. Because
counselor
training essentially begins at the graduate level, students
from various
undergraduate academic backgrounds will likely qualify for
this program. A
master’s degree in Community Counseling and a doctoral
degree in Counseling
Psychology are also offered by the University of Oklahoma.
In order to receive full consideration in the admissions
process, the following
