    "description": "<p>The CACREP Accredited School Counseling track in the Counselor Education Master’s of Education program is designed for the student planning to seek certification as a professional school counselor in pre-K through postsecondary school settings. This track (as opposed to the Counselor Education Master’s of Arts School Counseling track) is for students who have a bachelor's degree in education and have completed course work for teaching certification, have a Florida Teaching Certificate, and plan to seek additional certification in school counseling.</p> <p>As part of the program's pragmatic approach to preparing professional counselors, in addition to classroom studies, students in the School Counseling MEd track complete their first clinical experience (practicum) in either a public school or in the UCF Community Counseling and Research Center. School Counseling track students then complete their internship/clinical experiences in a K-12 school setting, earning 600 total hours, 240 of which must be direct service hours.</p> <p>The UCF Community Counseling and Research Center serves as a hub for training and research in the Counselor Education program, with graduate students providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults through the provision of individual, couples, and family therapy.</p> <p>The CACREP Accredited School Counseling track in the Counselor Education Master’s of Education (MEd) program prepares students for certification as a professional school counselor.
