The Online Master of Arts in Education (MAE) School Counseling degree prepares students for a career as a school counselor in public and private elementary, middle, and secondary school settings. We offer two options for this degree. 

• Option 1 is a 39-credit-hour program that complements your existing Nebraska Teacher Educator Certification. 
• Option 2 is a 54-credit-hour program designed for students without a teacher educator background who wish to obtain both a Nebraska Teacher Certification and School Counselor Endorsement.

This program requires that the student be qualified for or hold a teaching certificate. The programs are intended to provide the student with advanced knowledge in curriculum, research, assessment, administration, supervision and counseling. It is the responsibility of the students from states other than Nebraska to check with their resident state on specific state required courses needed to obtain their state's administrative endorsement/certificate and to choose their elective courses to meet these state requirements.
