Overview

The School Counseling Certification program is a post-master’s program for students with a Master’s in Counseling who would like to add School Counseling to their work.

Since students come in with a variety of master’s courses, there might be additional courses needed to meet the NJ DOE requirements. Once a student is admitted into the program, a transcript review is completed and individualized program of student is developed based on NJ and Montclair State University requirements.

This program meets the highest professional standards according to the New Jersey Department of Education, and the national accrediting body, CACREP.
