MA in School Counseling Concentration Central Michigan University

Program Description

The skills you need to thrive as a counselor aren't just learned in a classroom—they're built through experience. As a student in our counseling program, you'll practice working with real people, with real needs, all while you self-reflect and learn more about the profession. Overcoming dependence on drugs and alcohol. Navigating the perils of adolescence. Achieving wellness in the face of mental health challenges. Skilled, caring counselors hold the key to help individuals and families do that. And our counseling program gives you the experience to step into the field the day you graduate. Our students go on to work as counselors in public and private schools; colleges and universities; community-based social service agencies; and private practice. Children and teens are as susceptible to addiction, crisis and trauma as adults—but treatment and intervention must be tailored to their needs. This concentration can lead to a school counseling endorsement or license.
