What will I learn?

The School Counseling and School Counseling with Bilingual Extension Programs consist of a 60-credit Master of Science in Education degree, which prepares counselors-in-training for fulfilling the roles of the urban school counselors serving elementary, middle, and high school students in grades K-12 in the areas of academic, personal/social, and career development, according to the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA’s) new vision. School counselors provide a number of responsive services for students in grades K-12, including directly- and indirectly-delivered services such as individual and group counseling, classroom guidance, career/college counseling and academic advisement, transition planning, and facilitating peer mentoring programs, among many other services.
