School Counseling Program Options

Master of Science (M.S.) in School Counseling

The 48-credit MS degree with a concentration in School Counseling includes the coursework and field experiences (practicum/internships) required for certification as a School Counselor in Nebraska.

Don’t have a teaching certificate?

Nebraska also provides a path to an endorsement as a school counselor without a teaching certificate through the Teaching Program Alternative Permit. An advisor will work with alternative permit applicants to ensure you complete the appropriate courses to meet this requirement.
