Overview

The School Counseling program offered by the University of Cincinnati is designed with the purpose of creating leaders in school counseling who have the knowledge and skills to aid K-12 students' in the areas of academic, career, and personal/social development as well as contributing to the overall climate of the school environment. Further, our graduates are trained in the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, which emphasizes 1) creating a strong counseling program foundation, 2) the effective delivery of counseling initiatives, 3) the management of counseling programs, and 4) the accountability of program effectiveness. For more information, please contact Amanda Carlisle at 513-556-3335 or amanda.carlisle@uc.edu.

Our CACREP-accredited master's degree in School Counseling is designed around our core counseling curriculum, selected to be consistent with national accreditation standards for master’s programs in counseling, state licensing requirements for counselors, and university requirements for graduate programs. In addition, the program requires specialized coursework and extensive field-based practice and internship training under the supervision of a licensed, practicing school counselor in the K-12 school setting. Further, an assigned faculty advisor assists students in choosing elective coursework and in planning their field-based practice and internship experiences. Graduates of this program meet training requirements established by the Ohio Board of Education for licensure as a school counselor.

Success

This area of study is best suited for individuals who enjoy working in schools with children and/or adolescents. Those who choose school counseling as a career need to be self-driven, independent, creative, and persistent as well as have the capacity to work collaboratively with others in order to achieve common school and community goals. School counselors serve as advocates for K-12 students and the counseling program. In this capacity, they are required to engage in individual and group counseling, classroom guidance, crisis management, program development and management, and the evaluation of data. Further, good verbal and written communication skills are a must for successful school counselors.

Career

Career possibilities center on working with children and adolescents in K-12 school settings, however the degree may provide students with foundational skills needed to work in other areas of counseling beyond the K-12 school setting. Opportunities to become a counselor at the elementary, middle, and high school levels have been available to students and afford a variety of career experiences.
