This program is intended for professionals with an M.A. in Counseling or a closely related field. Students will take the courses they need to meet the requirements to obtain a School Counselor Certification from the New Jersey Department of Education, including a practicum experience in a school setting.
Academic programs for these students are developed based on a review by the New Jersey Department of Education of their official graduate transcript(s). Those interested should apply directly through the New Jersey Department of Education Website (https://www.nj.gov/education/educators/license/). Once a review of the applicants transcripts has been completed by the NJDOE, the program coordinator and candidate will identify areas/courses needed to satisfy educational requirements for certification in New Jersey.
