From one of the most affordable institutions in the state, you’ll be prepared to customize your schedule to maintain your work and personal commitments.

Importantly, this is not a certification or licensure program, meaning if you wish to move to a position as a mental health school counselor, you will have to complete a separate licensure program. Students should check the requirements of their individual state before deciding to proceed with the program.
Still, the demand for guidance counselors and academic advisors has increased, and many schools aim to provide additional resources for students to ensure scholastic success.
