Master of Arts in Education (School Counseling (P-12))

The online master’s in school counseling from Campbellsville University gives you the knowledge and skills that school guidance counselors need to meet the diverse academic, social, emotional and career needs of students. With a curriculum that is deeply rooted in ethical and Christian values, you will be able to transform the lives of students upon your graduation from the fully online program.

Through the program, you’ll learn how to infuse Christian principles into your practice and how to assist students and their families with navigating systems and finding the resources they need. You’ll explore topics such as substance abuse, group counseling and college readiness. The master’s degree teaches the history, philosophy and modern trends in school counseling and educational systems, as well as the ethical and legal considerations related to school counseling. Additionally, you will develop an understanding of the cultural context of relationships while addressing societal changes, influences and trends.

The master’s degree includes three internships that provide hands-on real-world experience in a supervised school guidance counseling setting using applicable professional resources. Two of the internships consist of 100 hours of clinical fieldwork, and the last internship includes 200 hours of fieldwork.
