As one of the most affordable institutions in the region, you’ll foster a solid foundation to help you rise the ranks 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.
