The CSUDH College of Education (COE) prepares teachers, counselors, and school leaders who are committed to equity and racial justice. We believe that educators, in all roles, have the ability to improve the lives of children through greater access to educational opportunities. We are committed to preparing our students to become effective, impassioned collaborators in ensuring that every child has every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

School and College Counseling Program

The Master of Science in Counseling program prepares students for careers in educational counseling settings and is designed to provide a broad conceptual knowledge base and the development of specialized counseling skills applicable to a diversity of student populations and counseling needs. Students choose School or College specializations and can concurrently pursue the PPS credential, which is required to work as a School Counselor in the public school system. Our program is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to offer both the PPS credential and the Child Welfare and Attendance (CWA) authorization. Through a framework of cultural humility, the program stresses the importance of self-awareness, reflective examination, and interpersonal and professional growth to provide a comprehensive preparation in educational counseling.
