SMU ESA School Counselor Program Overview

Saint Martin’s University (SMU) has developed an excellent reputation for educating compassionate, capable, effective school counselors over the last 20 years. Based on follow up studies of our graduates, 90-100% of each year’s graduates searching for positions have found jobs within 1 year. The program is flexible with most classes in the evenings. Many of our students work during the day. Although the program must be completed in 7 years, the speed of completion is up to the student (up to a maximum of 12 credit hours per semester).

Certification Approaches
Teaching Certification is not required to be certified as an ESA School Counselor in the State of Washington.

Two approaches to ESA certification are available. Those who have completed a Masters degree prior to completion of our program can follow an ESA “certification only” approach. Those without a Masters degree are required to complete our M.Ed. Program in the Guidance and Counseling Strand.

Please see ESA Handbook (PDF)for more detail.
