The Master of Education (M.Ed.) program in Counselor Education requires a total of 60 credit hours. Students will begin their programs in the summer or fall after being admitted to the program. The M.Ed. in Counselor Education allows students to focus on one of two tracks: School Counseling or Clinical Mental Health Counseling. The School Counseling track of the program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP). The newly developed Clinical Mental Health Counseling track is CACREP-like and meets the CACREP requirements for licensure in the state of Georgia.
