Overview

About the Program

School counselors help create school environments that support students to stay in school and achieve at their highest level. Our program of study supplements rigorous coursework with a variety of in-school practical experiences.

The major goal of the School Counselor Education program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is to create multiculturally-competent school counselors who understand the contextual influences on children’s development and learning, and who can intervene effectively in the complex systems that affect each child. Our students learn to analyze, interpret, and intervene directly with students and with the various facets of a child’s life including peers, classrooms, families, communities, the school system, and local institutions. Our graduates are trained to implement school counseling programs that are consistent with the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) National Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs.
