Interpersonal skills will also be evaluated to determine appropriateness of counseling interventions and interpersonal skills in rendering counseling services. Students who have received their M.Ed. may be admitted to the program to receive school counseling certification instead of the Master's degree in Counseling, provided all requirements for admission to the program have been fulfilled. Students seeking certification must provide three letters of recommendation and complete the requirements for admission to candidacy. At least one letter should be from a principal or supervisor in the school district where the student is or was employed. Students must also successfully complete the comprehensive examination, including a videotaped segment of a counseling session, a written analysis, and an oral examination to be evaluated by three faculty members.
Faculty evaluate students on interpersonal skills and appropriateness throughout the program.
