It is the mission of the school counseling program to train the next generation of mental health professionals in the schools in Missouri and beyond, particularly for those that have found it difficult to access the graduate program in a traditional educational setting.

This expansion has created a need for more full-time faculty in the program to provide high quality training to our current students and help grow the program and its reach even further. In addition to the online school counseling program, the department also offers other graduate degrees in youth mental health: MEd – Mental Health Practices in Schools and an ED.S. in Mental Health Practices in schools (https://online.missouri.edu/degrees-programs/mu/education/mental-health-practices-schools/m-ed). These programs fulfill in a niche in training school-based professionals in understanding youth mental health in general. The graduate programs were recently awarded CAEP accreditation and will be seeking the new ASCA (American School Counseling Association) Accreditation within the coming years.
