The School Counseling Program is a 60 semester-hour master’s degree program. The program provides competencies and proficiencies for entry-level positions as school counselors in elementary, middle/junior high, secondary, and adult education settings. Upon completion of the graduate program of study, teacher-certified students are eligible to apply for K-12 school counselor endorsement on their valid Michigan teaching certificates and students without a valid Michigan teaching certificate are eligible to apply for K-12 school counselor licensure issued by the Michigan Department of Education. Candidates selected for this program are expected to make a major commitment to their graduate training and to enroll in coursework on a regular basis. The program includes a 600 clock-hour supervised counseling internship experience. The School Counseling Program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), a specialized accrediting body which evaluates and grants accreditation to graduate-level programs in professional counseling. The program also meets the academic and internship requirements for limited licensure as a professional counselor (LLPC) in the State of Michigan. Information on full licensure as a professional counselor is available in the Student Handbook for Counseling Programs at https://www.emich.edu/coe/departments/leadership-counseling/counseling/documents/coun-student-handbook.pdf
