Welcome to the School Counseling Home Page!

The School Counseling program at Andrews University is housed in the Department of Educational & Counseling Psychology. The program prepares students for counseling in elementary, secondary, and higher educational settings, including professional work in counseling, testing, career development, guidance leadership, and residence-hall administration.

The program is accredited by CACREP, the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, a specializing accrediting body recognized by COPA, the Council on Post-Secondary Accreditation.

Individuals may pursue the course work and experiences required for endorsement as a school counselor or comprehensive school program director. Students working toward certification as K–12 school counselors should consult with the director of the School Counseling program about the requirements of the state where they plan to work. Some states require teacher certification in order to obtain school-counselor endorsement.
