School Counseling Concentration:
The school counseling concentration requires 48 semester hours of study including a practicum and two internships in a school setting. The school counseling concentration is available on both the main campus and the TECH-Barksdale AFB instructional site.
Failure to maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0, or receipt of any grade lower than “C”, or the receipt of more than 3 semester hours of “C” in any graduate course work, will result in the student being dropped from the Counseling and Guidance program.
