The Master of Arts Degree in School Counseling is designed to provide prospective school counselors with the skills necessary to establish and conduct effective developmental guidance and counseling programs in the pre-k-12 school setting. Students are trained through a comprehensive curriculum and internship program that qualifies them for work at all levels of school counseling. The school counseling program meets accreditation criteria of The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CEAP; formally NCATE) and Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

Curricular Requirements

All Counselor Education master's degree programs consist of a planned program of study. The plan follows the appropriate requirements for accreditation in that area. Once an academic advisor has been assigned, students should make an appointment to discuss their preferences and career aspirations. The program of study that a student accepts when entering the program will be the one followed until graduation. If there are any changes, they need to be approved by he advisor.

While the majority of courses will be offered through the Program in Counselor Education (designated as BCE) many required courses will be offered by affiliated programs, including courses in Educational Psychology (designated as BEP), Educational Research (designated as BER), School Psychology (designated as BSP), and other areas. These courses will afford students the opportunity to take advantage of the expertise of faculty in other program areas.
