Graduate Certificate in School Counseling
The School Counseling Licensure program prepares individuals to work as counselors in school settings (P-12). Emphasis is placed on preparing school counselors to work with students to support them in the process of achieving academic, career, and personal/social success.
Students enrolled in the licensure-only option must be graduates from an accredited Master’s program in counseling, psychology, or social work that required a clinical practicum focused on individual and group counseling skills. The program is designed to meet the requirements for the Preliminary School Counselor License approved by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission.
