Online M.Ed. in School Counseling
The Online MEd in School Counseling operates on a cohort model whereby all participants complete the same program of study over a two year period. Clinical courses are taught during the first summer at UMass Dartmouth and all participants must be present for an intensive two-week session held in mid July (low cost student housing accommodations at UMass Dartmouth are provided to participants). The remaining courses are delivered in a web-based on-line format following a semester calendar. Participants must follow the program of study exactly. The program requires a 100-hour practicum in approved placement sites. A 600 hour internship, divided evenly between two semesters, is also required. It consists of supervised field experiences in schools. While engaged in the field work placement, students attend on-line seminars and receive group supervision through synchronous web conferencing. In doing so, students' experiences are examined in relation to current issues of concern in the field of school counseling. Students are also supervised by internship site supervisors and participate in conference calls. Students are expected to provide audio/video tapes of counseling sessions. To be considered for the online school counseling program, applicants must reside 50 miles or greater from the Boston campus. In addition, within your personal statement, please address your interest in pursuing the Online School Counseling Program.
