Career Counseling

 

Professional Development and Certification

Students specializing in career counseling are strongly encouraged to join the National Career Development Association, the American Counseling Association, and other state and national organizations as appropriate.

The Career Counseling Specialization is designed to fulfill the preparation component of the National Board for Certified Counselors requirements for designation as a National Certified Counselor (NCC; http://www.nbcc.org). Students seeking NCC status must also achieve a passing score on the National Counselor Examination, acquire two years of supervised work experience in an appropriate setting with supervision provided by a qualified supervisor, and obtain two letters of reference (one from a supervisor and one from a colleague).
