Our Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) School Counseling Credential is a 54-unit program, which qualifies individuals to work as guidance counselors in K-12 public schools. We also offer an added Child Welfare and Attendance (CWA) specialization (additional 6 units), which focuses on truancy and dropout prevention issues.
Individuals admitted into our PPS School Counseling Credential program are eligible to apply for a PPS Internship Credential (valid for up to two years) if they are offered a school counseling position by a local school district before completing the program requirements. To be eligible, a student must have completed a minimum of 9 units and have passed the CBEST.
