Educational counselors help create environments in schools and the larger community that support cultural responsiveness, academic achievement, and promote social justice. Educational counselors embrace a holistic approach to maximize the learning environment so that all students can experience success in the academic, college/career readiness, and social/emotional domains. To provide maximum convenience and flexibility, the MS in Educational Counseling program is available at several campus locations throughout California, including La Verne, Bakersfield, Burbank, Irvine, and Santa Clarita. Courses are held in the late afternoons, evenings, and some weekends to meet the schedules of working students, and students can complete their degree on either a full- or part-time schedule. The degree consists of 51-65 credits and can be completed in 2.5 years of full-time study or 3.5 years of part-time study. The Master of Science in Educational Counseling coursework equips students with the skills required to address school climate and mental health concerns, specifically culturally relevant prevention and intervention practices that contribute to increased academic achievement for all students. This program supports a culture of caring that includes a strong commitment to equity across the academic, career, personal, and social domains defined by the National Standards for School Counseling.
