Advanced Specializations in School Counseling and Child Welfare and Attendance ServicesThe School Counseling program offers three areas of emphasis, each of which combines the Pupil Personnel Services credential (with Advanced Authorizations in School Counseling and Child Welfare and Attendance Services) with an option of the M.S. Degree in Counseling. These areas of emphasis are designated as follows:
For details on course requirements, see the listings for these combinations under the respective options of the degree, as described earlier. The program does not routinely offer the credential separately from the masters degree because most career opportunities require the degree. Candidates who already have a Master of Science Degree in Counseling and wish to earn this credential without the accompanying degree should inquire at the Division office about current policy regarding such candidacy, which is based upon available resources and space in required courses. If resources allow, the requirements for the Pupil Personnel Services credential with Advanced Specializations in School and Child Welfare and Attendance Services, without the master’s degree, involve the completion of the following program with grades of A or B in all courses. | ||||
Prerequisites (11 units)Demonstrated proficiency in statistics, introductory counseling theories and children with special needs. May be met by courses EDFN 452, COUN 450 and EDSP 400 respectively, or other current or prior course work with adviser approval. | ||||
