Master of Education [M.Ed] [Counselor Education (Concentration in School Counseling)] From Virginia Commonwealth University

Our school counseling concentration of the M.Ed. program prepares graduates to be critically reflective, with a professional understanding of basic counseling theory and practice, competencies in essential counseling services, the ability evaluate evidence-based research and implement it in practice, and a dedication to continuing professional development.

For students who already have a master’s degree in education, the 36 credit hours of program core courses in the school counseling concentration also will lead to recommendation for licensure as a school counselor. Students who wish to gain this licensure must meet with the department chair and file a plan of study.

Please keep in mind, however, that the exact course requirements may vary depending on when you matriculated into the program, so please consult your adviser or the program coordinator with any additional questions.
