About the Department
Today’s classroom environment encompasses a wide array of cultural backgrounds, social levels, and learning abilities. The Master of Arts in Education: Educational Counseling and the Master of Arts in Education: Educational Psychology prepare professionals with in-depth understanding of the numerous issues facing students today, and insight into the myriad forces that impact young students. Graduates with this degree are better able to communicate with students and families as they facilitate the learning process for children. The school counseling or school psychology credential is obtained simultaneously along with the corresponding master’s degree. A school counseling or school psychology credential is essential to obtaining a position as a school counselor or school psychologist in the public school setting.
