Career directions: If you select School Counseling, you'll be prepared to counsel K-12 children in private, public, or parochial schools. Select Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and you'll qualify to work in an agency with children, adults, families and groups; or in a career guidance employment setting. The program also will prepare you to take a state licensure or national certification exam.
