MAT/GRE Score: Is an admission requirement.
Students can be admitted conditionally without this
score. However, no student will be allowed to
take more than 12 hours of graduate credit prior to
meeting this requirement. |

Internship: Students cannot begin the internship
until they have completed SC 541 (including the 30
hour practicum) and three (3) additional School
Counseling (SC) courses. To begin the internship,
the student must request an application and other
forms from their advisor. After a student registers
for the internship 9sc 549), they have one year from
the end of the term in which they register to
complete all requirements. Students will receive a
grade of "I" in SC 549 until all requirements are
met. The grade of "I" does not affect the student's
GPA or financial aid, there is no additional cost
associated with the "I", and the student does not
have to register for the internship during the
subsequent semesters. |
|
GPA: Students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 overall
and no grade less than a "C" can be counted in the
program. |
|
Praxis II: Students in this program must take
and pass the Praxis II School Guidance and
Counseling Test (test code 0420 - passing score
520). Students should wait until they are
within two courses of completing their program to
take the Praxis II. Registration for the
Praxis iI is completed online at
http://www.ets.org/praxis. |
|
Comprehensive Examination: The Praxis II test is
the Comprehensive Examination. |
|
Application for Degree: Each candidate for a
master's degree must apply for the degree through
the Registrar's Office no later than the semester
prior to the semester in which he/she expects to
meet requirements for the degree. Application
forms are available online or in the Registrar's
Office. It is the responsibility of the
student to file this application. The last day
for filing an application for a degree is shown on
the University's academic calendar. Students
who fail to meet the degree requirements after
filing for the degree or diploma must refile for the
degree when requirements are completed. |
|

appropriate academic dean, up to nine hours of
graduate credit may be transferred into this
program. No transfer credit below the grade of
