This program provides the academic and applied training necessary for someone seeking employment as a certified school guidance counselor in a public or private school setting. In particular, the School Counseling program meets the licensure requirements to be a School Guidance Counselor in Virginia (K-12), and has reciprocity with many other states that recognize the Virginia license. For qualified students, the program can be structured for pre-doctoral studies. Students may extend the number of credit hours within their degree to meet the Virginia Board of Licensed Professional Counselors educational requirements for licensure of 60 credit-hours, or may graduate at 51 credit-hours and continue this academic work in a post-master's status. With the people and critical thinking skills obtained throughout the program, employment opportunities may extend beyond contemporary counseling settings. For information regarding employment opportunities of which the school is aware, visit the Career Services area of the website.
