School counseling plays a crucial role across all educational stages, from elementary through high school. Counselors assist students with academic success, personal growth, and career planning while collaborating with parents, teachers, and administrators to foster student development. These professionals serve as essential support systems within schools, addressing both educational and emotional needs. Our master's program in school counseling delivers specialized training for this rapidly expanding profession, equipping graduates for rewarding opportunities in Alaska and beyond. The rigorous curriculum combines research with practical experience, including supervised fieldwork and internships. We emphasize developing culturally responsive counselors capable of meeting the distinct challenges faced by Alaska's rural communities.
