School Counseling Master’s Programs

Master Degree Programs in School Counseling

Most states require the completion of a Master’s degree program in School Counseling in order to become a certified school counselor.

As school counselors begin counseling teachers and administrators more and more regarding the most effective educational practices based on student psychology, school counselors will need additional skills in order to perform in this new, more directorial position. As a result, school counseling master’s degree programs are already providing career skills that are similar to those learned in business administration.
