Counseling

The Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Counseling offers the opportunity for advanced study and professional development in the fields of Community and School counseling. Students may earn credit toward a state-level counseling license to practice in community settings (Licensed Professional Counselor). Credit may also be earned toward a School Counselor endorsement on a Teacher's certificate (or, with additional courses, a Special Education Counselor endorsement.) A thesis option emphasizes the development of research competencies critical to continued graduate-level study.

Admission requirements and prerequisites: An undergraduate degree in Education, Psychology or Sociology is required. Students not meeting this requirement will need to have 18 semester hours of leveling courses in either, psychology, sociology, education or a closely related field. Please contact the department for more information regarding these requirements.
