College Student Counseling and Personnel Services degree programs

A master's in college student counseling and personnel services prepares you to advise, counsel, and support students at colleges and universities, bridging counseling skills with the work of student affairs. This is not a teacher preparation degree. Enrollees are usually recent graduates or professionals drawn to careers as college and career counselors, academic advisors, and student-services staff in areas like admissions, residence life, and career services. Depending on your track and state, the program can also point toward the supervised hours needed for professional counselor licensure.
