Required Courses (18 Hours)
Certification
In the school counseling certification degree program, the degree requirements and certification requirements are linked. Inasmuch as the certification requirements are the responsibility of the S.C. State Board of Education, if state regulations change, degree requirements are also subject to change. All students seeking school counseling certification must:
- successfully complete the requirements of the degree program
- achieve test scores at or above those established by the state on the program-appropriate exams (Praxis II Series); scores earned on the Praxis must be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs, College of Education, Wardlaw 113, USC, and to the South Carolina Department of Education
- submit to an FBI check for prior felony convictions (for initial S.C. certification applicants only)
- pay all certification fees as required.
