M.S. School Counseling
The school counseling profession is dedicated to leadership and advocacy for students in the areas of academic, career and social/emotional development. Professional school counselors deliver comprehensive counseling experiences for students from pre-schools to college campuses with data based methods that create the optimal achievement for all students.
The primary goal of the Master of Science degree in School Counseling at UW-Stout is to provide a solid core of skills and practical training to enable the future counselor to work with many diverse individuals and populations with respect to age, religion, abilities, sexuality, race and cultural heritage. School counselors focus on improving academic achievement and removing barriers to success for students in a proactive manner.
UW-Stout's Master of Science in School Counseling prepares you to play an active role with children, their families, teachers, psychologists and community agencies to improve academic achievement and remove students’ barriers to success. Some program highlights include:
