Instructional Environment
Beginning fall 2022, USU’s master’s program in School Counseling has restructured the program delivery to be offered as a web-based format. This change in delivery has allowed potential students from across the state of Utah and beyond Utah’s borders to access the program through a web broadcast format, which will utilize Zoom and asynchronous online courses. The School Counseling program intends to utilize USU’s statewide IVC broadcast sites where appropriate throughout the program coursework. USU’s IVC sites are open to students if an at-home learning option is unavailable to them. Please contact your GPC if you need support with what USU Extension Center is closest to you.
Admitted School Counseling program students are required to attend all in-person opportunities to support connections with their cohort members. Such opportunities include orientation prior to the start of the program, new cohort orientation times during each cohort’s second and third year of the program, semesterly or summer learning course intensives, and residency requirements will all be communicated at least one semester prior to the start of the semester where the occurrence will take place, and during students’ completion of both practicum and internship experiences at a K-12 school setting.
Schedule
The M.Ed. in School Counseling Program typically holds classes in the afternoon/evening hours, admitted students should expect to take courses throughout the week at specified times outlines by the program requirements.
