Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Completion of the School Counseling/Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) option, in addition to the major core requirements above, satisfies the academic requirements in order to be eligible for the Pupil Personnel Services credential in school counseling. While it is possible to complete all the courses required for the credential in a two-year period, such a program requires careful planning. The department intends to offer each PPS course at least once a year, but students need to plan the sequence with their advisor to ensure it matches the availability of courses.
