School Counseling Certificate
Cal U has one of the best school counseling programs in the nation. Our program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
We offer school counseling certification programs in elementary (K-6) and secondary school (7-12) guidance. For those students who hold a master's degree in another discipline, you may decide to seek certification. The department will evaluate your transcript to determine which courses are required.
We designed our program for both degree and certification candidates. Our Master of Education program in school counseling fulfills the degree requirements needed for the National Counselor Examination (NCE), which you will need to take to become a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Prospective students are advised to read the CED Student Handbook, which describes the philosophy, admissions and departmental procedures in detail.
