Master of Arts - Counseling and Career Development - School Counseling

Graduates of the School Counseling specialization are prepared to serve as professional school counselors in K-12 educational settings. 

Professional school counselors work to meet the academic, social-emotional, and career needs of all students through individual, group, and classroom delivery modalities. Through advocacy, collaboration, and leadership, school counseling graduates serve as systemic change agents. They strive to ensure equitable educational access by engaging in data-informed practice, reducing multi-level barriers, and promoting culturally sensitive decision-making.

Students who successfully complete this program are prepared to pursue school counseling and professional counseling licensure in Colorado. Licensure requirements in other states and U.S. territories may differ. Students are encouraged to work with the program and the professional licensure board in the state where they intend to pursue licensing to ensure all requirements are satisfactorily met.
