The Master of Education in School Counseling is designed to provide the framework for school counselor preparation and to enhance the professional development of certified teachers who are seeking a graduate degree in school counseling.

The Master of Education in School Counseling is a 39-hour, non-thesis professional development program leading to the Standard Counselor Certificate. The program is designed to meet or exceed the certification requirements for School Counselors as established by the State Board for Educator Certification. General prerequisites include two years teaching experience in an accredited and approved school. The program is interdisciplinary and builds on the student's prior education and experience. A systematic schedule of shared self-appraisals, threaded throughout the program allows students to monitor their progress toward professional goals in partnership with other forms of student development.

Upon the successful completion of the Master of Education in School Counseling at Dallas Baptist University, passing the School Counselor Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES), and having two years of acceptable teaching experience, the student will be recommended for the Professional Counselor Certificate.
