A Credential in Spanish Language Counseling, offered by the School of Social Work , is available to students who, through coursework or examination, show evidence of competency to conduct counseling/ therapy in Spanish.

This credential is for BASW and MSW students demonstrating advanced levels of Spanish language proficiency and social work practice skills. There are two ways of obtaining the certificate: (1) taking SCWK 224 , an elective course that uses cultural, linguistic competencies, and social work skills in the delivery of services to Latino client systems; (2) taking an exam (offered near the time of graduation).  For more information, please contact Dr. Migdalia Reyes at Migdalia.Reyes@sjsu.edu.
