Online Master’s in School Counseling

Not Accepting Applications

To best meet the needs of our students, we have decided to suspend enrollment in the MA in School Counseling and Bilingual School Counseling. We encourage you to explore On-campus MA in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness and Online MA in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness.

A valuable resource for vulnerable children and their families, school counselors help students achieve their goals. In this master of arts program, you’ll get the education and clinical training to become a professional pre-K–12 school counselor, working in public and private schools, colleges, and community agencies. Graduates are eligible for New York State certification as guidance counselors. You must reside in the US and not need a visa to pursue this online degree, and you may choose to concentrate your degree on bilingual school populations.

This program is accredited by the Master’s in Psychology and Counseling Accreditation Council (MPCAC) for 2015 through 2025. Graduates of this program meet the academic requirements for licensure in the state of New York. Each state sets their own policies, regulations, and standards for licensure. If you intend to pursue licensure in a state other than New York, you should consult our Licensure page for more information on whether our program meets the academic requirements for licensure in that state and whether there is additional course work you may need to complete to meet that state’s requirements.

Students interested in the Bilingual concentration must be able to participate in required supervised fieldwork within the five boroughs of New York City.
