The Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling prepares graduates to be thoughtful, effective, responsive, empathetic counselors in educational settings who advocate for their students and provide support in line with contemporary expectations and cutting-edge best practices. This program follows the national model and standards of the American School Counselor Association in preparing students for permanent or provisional/permanent New York State Certification as a School Counselor. Students learn in person through the School of Education on the Syracuse University campus. Our faculty are actively engaged in research, practice, and leadership in the field of school counseling, both locally and on the national level. Small class sizes translate into meaningful relationships with faculty and fellow students that support you through the program and into a career as a school counselor.
