Is the master's in Guidance and Counseling program for me?
If you want to be a school counselor or improve your skills in guidance and counseling in an educational
setting, this could be a good fit. You have a couple of program options: M.Ed. in Guidance and Counseling,
or the M.Ed. Guidance and Counseling with ESA Certification.
|
What will I learn in the master's in Guidance and Counseling program?
You'll learn how to promote student success at school, at home and in the community. Our program is based on
the American School Counselor Association model, which focuses on:
- Working with individual students
- Small group and classroom presentation skills
- Consulting with staff, families and community resource providers
- Systems support
|
What can I do with my master's degree in Guidance and Counseling?
CityU's master's degree in Guidance and Counseling program will prepare you to offer guidance and counseling to
students in the classroom or for an educational organization. If you go the ESA route, you'll be qualified to
work as a counselor in any public K-12 school in Washington state. Your skills will transfer well to other human
services roles, too, such as private agencies, community colleges and independent schools.
|
Why CityU?
- Because you want an education that's relevant to what's happening in the real world, right now.
- CityU prepares more students to become Washington School Counselors with ESA Certificates than any other university (2003-2009).
