Overview

Key Features

The Educational Counseling program at National University is designed to prepare educational counselors to be reflective social justice leaders that advocate for positive institutional transformation that promotes anti-racist, just and equitable outcomes for all students. Students will be prepared to deliver culturally responsive services to a pluralistic society and will develop comprehensive counseling skills informed by theory, research and practice. The program offers two options for career pathways within the Master of Science in Educational Counseling with Pupil Personnel Services Credential School Counseling or a Master of Science in Educational Counseling with an Emphasis in Community College Counseling. Each student must choose only one of the following options for their career pathway.

The Pupil Personnel Services Credential – School Counseling (PPS-SC) option provides the students with the acquired skills to become social justice leaders and competent school-based mental health professionals through a program of study aligned with the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) National Standards. This pathway provides PPS candidates with the acquired skills, knowledge, and abilities to become a professional school counselor and involves a combination of coursework, practicum, and fieldwork.

Successful completion of this program of study leads to a master’s degree with the Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Counseling and a Child Welfare and Attendance (CWA) authorization. Credentials and authorizations are awarded through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC).

Students enrolled in the credential pathway are awarded the master’s degree once they have successfully completed all the coursework, a capstone project, and the PRAXIS exam. All coursework must be completed prior to the PPS-SC credential recommendation. Course equivalence will not be granted for life experiences.

For additional information on credential requirements, please see the Sanford College of Education Credential Information section of the catalog.
