Our School Counseling program prepares graduates to implement comprehensive school counseling services that facilitate wellbeing in students and families. Instructors combine practical and theoretical teaching with hands-on experience to set the stage for your career in school counseling. Small class sizes and one-on-one interactions allow you to hone your skills in integrating the Christian faith as the context for serving your community.
Students can earn a master’s degree in school counseling within 9* semesters. The program begins with a 7-week summer session (mid-June) which includes a mandatory evening orientation. Fall and spring courses span 15 weeks. Based on enrollment, school counseling specialty courses may be offered in synchronous online modality.
