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.
