Overview

School Counseling from University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) requires the completion of a 60-semester hour program. School Counselor students will complete the same foundational coursework as the Clinical Mental Health Counselor students and may be eligible for licensure as a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Key Facts

In the School Counselor endorsement program, students prepare to become licensed professionals dedicated to supporting students and their communities within school settings.

The primary role of a school counselor involves developing and overseeing comprehensive guidance programs designed to help students acquire essential skills across various life domains, including social, personal, academic, and career development. These skills are considered vital for thriving in our diverse society. To achieve this, students in the program learn and employ a range of strategies, including:

Providing individual or small group counseling sessions for students
Collecting data from students and stakeholders in effort to implement comprehensive evidence-based practices
Delivering valuable information through classroom guidance sessions
