School Counseling
The School Counseling concentration is designed for the professional who has had full-time experience in a public or private school setting and wants to prepare themselves for a professional counseling role in an elementary, middle or secondary school.
A valid teaching license is not required for this program. The curriculum emphasizes the knowledge and skills needed for the practical application of counseling theory and research to the developmental problems of school-age young people. The program culminates in a supervised experience in elementary, middle, and high school settings for 450 clock hours.
NOTE: Students are cautioned to work closely with their advisors in planning their studies since some courses have prerequisites and are sequenced to begin with the fall semester.
