Guidance School Counseling MSED

The School Counseling Program (Academic Plan: GSC-MSED) prepares graduates for careers in a variety of school settings, including elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and colleges. School counselors can also be employed by organizations that are not primarily educational, such as correctional facilities, hospitals, and a wide variety of community-based organizations. Students in this program may apply individually for the NYS provisional certification in School Counseling at the completion of 30 credits and a school based practicum experience. Recommendation for provisional and permanent certification is made after graduation. School counseling students fluent in Spanish and English have the option of obtaining NYS certification in Bilingual Education Extension for Pupil Personnel Services in addition to the School Counselor certification.
