Program Description

The University of West Alabama’s online Education Specialist in School Counseling will prepare you to advance your career as a school counselor best suited to serve students and improve their mental health. The fully online program caters to working professionals, meaning you’ll be able to personalize your schedule to accommodate your work and personal commitments.

Further, the degree is designed for students looking for training and information found in Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs, but completed as fast as a master’s program. With rigorous coursework taught by experts in the field, you’ll cover topics including leadership, educational research, family counseling, adolescent counseling, substance abuse counseling and more.

As one of the most affordable institutions in the state, you’ll be able to build a solid foundation to help you advance in the field. The program requires students to complete 33 total credit hours, which are split between two primary areas: professional courses and instructional support. In the professional courses, you’ll focus on building your educational research profile, while in the instructional support area, you’ll concentrate on different forms of counseling. As a result, you’ll be better prepared to engage in different counseling methods to best serve students of diverse and rural backgrounds.

Importantly, this program is a certification program, which means counselors graduating from the program will be better equipped to adopt innovative and appropriate counseling methods. This means that the program is best suited for those aiming to achieve a post-master’s-level education and an EdS Level Professional Certificate. Request more information about the program today.
