The world desperately needs more creative, compassionate counselors to help individuals, children and families navigate the challenges of contemporary life.

The UW Master of Science degree in Counseling program offers concentrations in school counseling and mental health counseling that will prepare you to help people across the lifespan. Ours is a broad-based program that prepares you to become certified as a school counselor or provides you with the training needed to become a provisionally licensed mental health counselor.

The UW counseling program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) and is offered on campus in Laramie, or as an intensive weekend program for working professionals at UW Casper.

Mental Health Counseling

Through small classes and clinical experiences, UW’s mental health program prepares you to serve in settings that include community agencies, integrated delivery systems, hospitals, addictions treatment centers and private practice.

School Counseling Program

The school counseling program equips you with the knowledge and skills to become a school leader who works with students, teachers, administrators, parents and other community members to promote culturally relevant P-12 student growth. The school counseling program allows you to earn this degree with no previous P-12 experience.
