This program prepares students to become school counselors in public K-12 schools. Students may enter the program with or without a teaching certificate. It includes regularly scheduled individual academic advising; an integrated theoretical orientation; an integration of classroom skills with counseling internships; a strong foundation in course work for meeting certification and licensing requirements; and supervised experiences in schools. To be awarded the MA in School Counseling, students must successfully complete 51-60 semester hours of study. To qualify for Roosevelt University's recommendation for the school service personnel certificate in school counseling (Type 73), all state and program requirements in effect at the time of application must be met, including all clinical experience requirements and passing scores on the ICTS Basic Skills Test and the ICTS Guidance Test. The School Counseling specialization requires either 39, 42, or 51 semester hours, depending upon whether the student has teacher certification and two years of teaching experience under a standard contract. According to Illinois state law, only students that graduate from a 48 semester hour minimum program are able to add any necessary coursework to become eligible for counselor licensure in Illinois. The School Counseling specialization prepares the student to apply for an Illinois Type 73: School Service Personnel certificate. School counseling students may add the necessary mental health courses to the 51 semester hour option in order to be eligible to take the National Counselor Exam.
