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.
