The School Counseling program is in the Counseling and Psychological Services Department, which is one of six departments in the School of Education. Visit the program admissions page to apply.

 

Program Description

The school counseling program builds upon a core of psychological and educational foundations and specialization areas including counseling theory, group process, appraisal, and vocational development and decision-making. School counselors work proactively from a data driven perspective to assist all students across the academic, career, and social/emotional domains. Developing, managing, and evaluating school counseling interventions is key to being an effective school counselor and an important part of a comprehensive school counseling program. Students will participate in supervised practice in individual and group counseling working to address academic, career, and social/emotional needs in a K-12 school setting.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will be eligible to apply for NYS certification as a school counselor.

Following admission, you will discuss the total program with your designated faculty advisor to build a program of study.
