Note: With the exceptions of Practicum (ED 712) and Internship (ED 722), courses are offered only once a year.
Workshops & Electives
In addition to the core courses that total 51 credits, students are required to take 3-credit hours of workshops and 6-credit hours of electives. These courses appear in the table above during semesters in which faculty suggest they be taken, but students can attempt these credits in any semester they are offered with faculty permission.
Required workshops:
- ED 501: Assisting Grieving Children & Families (1 cr)
- offered fall, spring, and summer
- typically taken during year 2 or 3 to just prior to or during Practicum or Internship
- shortly after the completion of this workshop, students must facilitate 12 groups at Brooke’s Place – every other week over the course of 6 months
- group facilitation hours count towards Practicum or Internship requirement (whichever you are enrolled in at the time)
- ED 502: Postsecondary Options & Opportunities (2 cr)
- offered fall and spring
Elective Credits:
Students must choose elective credits in consultation with their advisor. Courses from the online programs in Licensed Mental Health Counseling or Applied Educational Neuroscience are recommended, but any course taught at the graduate level is likely acceptable with permission.
NOTE: 1-hour of elective credit is required for graduation & must be approved by advisor. Can be taken at any point during program.
