School Counseling Program:
Program Description

The School Counseling Program was redesigned and reinstated by the faculty in the Department of Educational Psychology to meet the growing need for well trained school counselors. The program consists of 48 semester hours leading to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) Degree. We view counselor training as essentially beginning at the graduate level, so students from various academic backgrounds will likely qualify for the program. The School Counseling Program is designed for persons preparing to work in the elementary, middle, and high schools. This program will lead to fulfilling the requirements for becoming a Certified School Counselor. Students in the School Counseling Program will need to create a portfolio
with work products included over the course of their training. Students should speak with their advisors about the format and mechanisms for creating and maintaining their portfolios.
