Master of Philosophy in Education - Professional Counseling in Philadelphia United States | University of Pennsylvania

The master's program in Professional Counseling serves as the second phase of our M.S.Ed. in Counseling and Mental Health Services, equipping graduates to obtain Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentials. Alongside the M.Phil.Ed. degree, participants may choose to earn School Counseling Certification. This program provides two pathways: Track 1 focuses solely on the M.Phil.Ed., while Track 2 combines the M.Phil.Ed. with School Counseling certification. Track 1 students train exclusively for LPC licensure, qualifying them for diverse mental health environments. Track 2 candidates pursue dual qualifications - both LPC licensure and School Counseling certification - enabling practice in educational institutions. The School Counseling track mandates passing national examinations, completing supervised internships, and fulfilling additional certification requirements.
