Certification in elementary or secondary school guidance counseling requires the completion of courses that address the knowledge, skills and competencies of guidance counseling. You will learn about normal and atypical development in children and adolescents, family systems, individual and group counseling techniques, test and measurement, and consultation strategies. Graduates are prepared to work in diverse, multi-disciplinary public school settings as guidance counselors.
If you are seeking only certification in secondary school counseling, you will take these courses unless waived through transcript review. To apply, you must hold a master's degree, but this degree does not have to be in psychology.
