If you have graduate credit that you think may meet degree requirements, approach your advisor with those concerns. Students can choose from course offerings in other Education fields, as well as from Social Work, Psychology, Public Health, Sociology, etc. Selection requires approval of advisor. Other courses that address similar curriculum may be used in lieu of the required courses. Students must seek the approval of their advisor to make such revisions to their program of study.
Students can choose to lengthen their program by adding electives.
Consult with your advisor for appropriate choices. Contact your advisor at least one semester in advance of your intended practicum semester to facilitate placement and to ensure completion of all course prerequisites. Only those students applying on or before the deadline date will be considered for Practicum and Internship the following semester. All applicants for the Practicum or Internship must be interviewed and approved by their advisor. The professional emphasis in School Counseling requires connection with one's peers and one's profession.
