Overview

The School Counseling program of James Madison University is a learning community of faculty, staff and students who vary in abilities, age, class, gender, ethnicity, race, religion and sexual orientation. Coming together from a variety of geographic areas, they share a common vision of achieving the vitally important mission of training students to become successful school counselors.

Key Features

The school counseling program prepares students to be school counselors in elementary, middle or secondary school settings. Program graduates enter the field with the knowledge and competencies essential to provide quality developmental school counseling services.

The alumni are dedicated to providing competent, caring and ethical services to diverse students in public and private schools. Putting the principles of school counseling into practice, they strive to create an academic community in which the students can thrive personally and grow professionally.

While many of the graduates play vital roles in schools along Virginia's Shenandoah Valley or West Virginia, many have moved to serve in rural, suburban and urban schools throughout the mid-Atlantic region and across the nation. They invite the students to embark on a life-long journey of exploring new possibilities, refining their skills and staying fresh throughout their careers.

They encourage them to support one another in the formidable task of making a difference in students' lives by meeting their emotional, social, educational and career development needs as licensed or certified school counselors. Finally, they challenge the graduates to advance the school counseling profession through service, research, innovation, advocacy and training.
