The Certificate in College Admissions Counseling prepares new and established college counselors and comprehensive school counselors to support students through every level of the university admissions process with an emphasis on social-emotional support. Courses explore the university search, application preparation and selection process. Working with diverse international students and families is a focus of the certificate. Additional topics include financial aid, test prep and essay writing.
In addition to college counseling, the certificate includes courses that help counselors build school counseling programs and provide one-on-one helping skills. Counselors will also learn about guiding students through career exploration in preparation for university admissions. The four graduate courses prepare counselors for comprehensive school counseling.
