Introduction

The mission of the Counselor Education Program at Alabama State University is to prepare graduates who will perform as professional counselors in schools and community agencies. The program provides a strong framework in counseling theories and techniques, as well as “hands-on” practicum and internship experiences. Graduates are expected to exhibit high levels of self-awareness; ethical behavior; knowledge of adaptive and maladaptive thought processes and behaviors; skills to effect positive client behavior changes; and the personal characteristics of caring, empathic helpers. The Educational Specialist in School Counseling Program is a 33-36 semester hour program. The program includes one to two internships (300-600 clinical hours) at local elementary, middle, and high schools. Our graduates are trained in advocacy, accountability, evidence-based practices, supervision, and research. 33-36 Semester hours- minimum requirements *Students whose master’s program included fewer than 700 hours practicum/internship must take two advanced internships(692,679) *Students must clear background check if Master’s was not granted from our program within 5 years.Graduate FeesBelow are estimated tuition and costs for full-time graduate students residing on-campus during the 2017-18 academic year.
