The School Counseling curriculum is designed to prepare current teachers and other qualified applicants for licensure as counselors in a school setting working with students, teachers, and parents to help students in their academic, personal, and career development.
Program Overview
The School Counseling program empowers you to be a social change agent in schools. As you’re trained as an effective counselor, you’ll also be encouraged to build community partnerships, address opportunity gaps faced by students, and learn data-driven program evaluation.
Upon completion of this 48-credit-hour program, you’ll receive a master of education degree (M.Ed.) and be license-eligible as a school counselor in the State of Ohio. You can complete the program in as little as two years through a combination of face-to-face and hybrid/online courses. Both full- and part-time students are eligible, so you can progress through the program at your own pace.
We admit students to the School Counseling Program in the summer and fall semesters. Spring applications will be considered if space is available.
A limited number of graduate assistantships provide a tuition waiver for up to 15 credit hours per year plus a stipend. Students are expected to spend 20 hours per week working for the department.
