Degree Overview
Prepare to serve students in P-12 educational environments with the online master’s in guidance and counseling. This program is an exact replica of our MEd in School Counseling certification program, but is designed for students who are not eligible for the school counseling program because they lack a teaching certificate. The program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), so you know you are getting industry-standard instruction.
When you graduate, you’ll be able to provide advocacy, assessment, evaluation and a range of counseling services to students. Earn your degree fully online, at one of the most affordable institutions in the state.
Please note that the program may not lead to a job as a school counselor. Candidates will need to check with their own state for guidance on pursuing a career in this field.
Who is this degree for?
- Individuals seeking employment opportunities in a school setting or other similar setting.
- Those without a teaching certificate who want to enroll in a CACREP-accredited counseling program.
