School Counseling Programs

School counseling programs prepare counselors for PK–12 schools. School counselors are credentialed by state education agencies (certification or licensure as a school counselor) — a different credential from clinical counselor licensure, with its own requirements that vary by state.

Rule: Included when the program's own official title or description names school counseling as its specialty. Other specialties offered by the same school are not counted. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.
