Master of Arts in Counseling and Pupil Personnel Services Credential-School Counseling
A candidate will obtain the Master of Arts in Counseling degree along with the School Counseling Credential through the combined degree/credential program. Candidates who already possess a Master’s degree may pursue a PPS credential only.
The program leading to the School Counseling credential is approved by the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Learning Outcomes
Aligned with the School of Education’s Conceptual Framework, Mission Statement, and Goals, and the Department of Educational Support Services candidate goals, the School Counseling Program’s goals are to prepare candidates that:
- Respond positively to issues of diversity;
- Educate to help insure the success of all pupils;
- Advocate for all pupils to have access to educational services; and,
- Lead and work collaboratively to help transform programs, practices, and institutions.
Admission Requirements
The items listed below should be submitted directly to the School of Education Office of the Dean, unless otherwise noted:
- Completion of the Graduate Division application form, submitted directly to the Graduate Admissions Office.
- Two official copies of transcripts from all colleges/universities attended, sent directly to the Graduate Admissions Office.
