Through specialized coursework and training experiences, students can gain expertise in child assessment and intervention. A public school counselor must have earned a degree in school counseling from a graduate program specifically authorized by the state to offer the training, must be certified by the state, and they must have a teacher's certificate. Our program is not authorized to train public school counselors. However, graduates of this Program may be hired as cousnelors in private school settings and many of our alumni have held counselor positions in private schools. A vast range of jobs are availble with this degree.
Salaries vary with the position, geographic locale, work setting, and amount of experience.
Most of the 50 states currently offer counselor licenses. The requirements vary from state to state, but the Program makes every effort to prepare students for their respective state licenses. This page is maintained by Student Affairs Office .
