School Counseling
The School Counseling Program awards a Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) in Counselor Education, and is offered on our Roanoke campus. Counselors help individuals change their lives. They work in school and community settings to advocate for individuals, and work to advance social justice. School Counseling is frequently among the top ten critical shortage teaching areas in Virginia. We understand that School Counselors are counselors who work in school settings. Thus, we incorporate the same courses for both School Counselors and Clinical Mental Health Counselors. Many of our students who complete the School Counselor program continue to earn their Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensure as well. At the completion of their M.A.Ed. program, School Counseling graduates will have completed all of the educational requirements for provisional licensure as a Professional School Counselor PK-12. After working for two years, graduates become fully licensed as school counselors.

About the Integrative STEM Education M.A.Ed. Program
The Integrative STEM Education program at Virginia Tech offers a graduate certificate and degrees at three different levels: master of arts in education degree (M.A.Ed.), education specialist degree (Ed.S.), and doctoral degrees (Ph.D. or Ed.D.). Graduates of the Virginia Tech Integrative STEM Education program are among the most sought after professionals in higher education. Since the program’s inception, there has been a 100% post-secondary education placement rate for our doctoral graduates. Integrative STEM Education serves as the theoretical and pedagogical premise for technological/engineering (T/E) design based teaching and learning practices. The goal of T/E design based learning is distinct in that it seeks to promote integrative STEM thinking through the design of a product, system, or environment that provides solutions to practical problems. Technological/Engineering design embodies habits of both hand and mind that together afford the learner knowledge and understanding necessary for developing appropriate solutions to human wants and needs. The faculty works closely with students to tailor their learning experiences to meet their goals.
