In addition to a Master’s degree in Education with a concentration in Counseling and Student Personnel, we offer a Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential in School Counseling and a Child Welfare and Attendance (CWA) specialization, which qualify individuals to work as guidance counselors in K-12 schools. Our faculty work closely with degree candidates to build effective assessment and counseling skills, nurture reflective thinking, and develop cultural skills and a commitment to social justice. Our graduates are prepared to facilitate individuals’ personal and educational success and lifelong learning.
