Texas State University  

We believe that a well-prepared counselor is involved in and committed to a process of intentional growth that promotes pro-social autonomy, lifelong learning, and ethical behavior. These ideals are fostered within a dynamic and multi-modal learning setting in which diversity, critical thinking, self-in-context, scholarship, praxis, and the creation and integration of knowledge are celebrated. The 55-credit hour Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling degree offers the School Counseling emphasis while prepares the graduate for certificaton as a Texas School Counselor. Texas State has two campuses: San Marcos and Round Rock. We serve a wide regional area of creative, aspiring, and dedicated students. Courses offered in the late afternoon (3:30) and evening (6:30) in the long semesters provides for the needs of our working students. Summer daytime(10:30 – 2:30) as well as evening (5:30 – 9:30) classes particularly appeal to our students who work full time in the preK-12 settings.
