The in-person master’s degree program in School Counseling (SC) prepares students to work in public and private K-12 schools as certified school counselors. This program prepares school counselors for Educational Staff Associate (ESA) certification. The school counseling program culminates with a program approved practicum and internship in a K-12 school setting. Whenever possible, internships are done at schools that students choose, usually at schools where they teach, enabling them to continue working while completing the internship.
