Will I become licensed during this program?

Our program, like many others, prepares you to meet all the requirements of a licensed counselor - it sets you up for success when you take your professional counselor exam afterward. Our graduates have a 95 percent pass rate on the exam, and we credit this outstanding result to a focused curriculum, internship placement assistance, and dedicated support from faculty and advisors.

Can you help me organize my practicum and internship sites?

We offer clinical placement services as part of your degree. We have a dedicated coordinator on staff that will work with you to identify internship sites in your local area. You will gain valuable experience via a 100-hour practicum and two internships, each one being 300 hours.

How can I balance my study and life commitments successfully during the program?

Time is precious - use it wisely. By doing your master’s online, you are not just eliminating the time it takes to commute to and from campus. You also have the option to choose what day and time you study because courses are delivered asynchronously. Successful students display grit, are well organized (for example, develop week-by-week plans) and lean on support from friends and family when needed. You will have a Student Success Advisor to lean on for support during your program. Faculty are also contactable by phone and email via MySBU.

What are the methods of instruction?

Our courses are delivered asynchorounously online which means you drive when and where you study from (i.e. you only require a reliable internet connection). Some professors have weekly lectures and while these are recorded you have the option to dial in live to interact with your professor and ask questions. Your practicum and internship hours will require in-person attendance but can be completed at a site close to your home. You do not need to travel to our campus in New York.

Am I eligible for financial aid?

We will work with you to identify the different financial aid options available to you as an online student. To learn more about financial aid click here.
