(AAQEP - Accredited)

Completion of this program qualifies graduates for professional licensure in School Counseling.

Experiential learning in the form of practicum and internship placements is a critical component of the program. The program is approved by the Utah State Office of Education and licensure reciprocity is currently being determined for school counselor licensure in other states. The program originates on the campus of USU and is delivered annually through a web broadcast format which will include various elements of Zoom, in-person, and asynchronous courses.
