Our school counseling Ed.S. program is for those seeking to work as a school counselor. Maybe you aspire to be a director of school counseling services in a private or public school setting. If so, then this specialist in education degree is also what you need. This program gives you a comprehensive look at theories of child development, advanced techniques of counseling and psychotherapy, parent involvement and family counseling, teacher consultation, research analysis and internship experiences. We designed this on-campus learning experience for those who are eligible for S-5 certification upon entry into the program and wish to pursue school counseling careers. The Ed.S. major in School Counseling (elementary, middle, or secondary) prepares certified school counselors to function at higher levels of competence in their work settings. Evaluation of a student's performance is continuous and involves consideration of the student's academic performance as well as the student's performance in laboratory, practicum, and internship classes. A student may be withdrawn from a course and/or the program if the welfare of the student's clientele or prospective clientele or the functioning of a school or agency is, in the judgment of the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services faculty, in jeopardy as a result of the student's behavior. Students in this program are expected to follow the latest version of the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics, and the most recent version of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Ethical Standards for School Counselors.
