The Education Specialist (EdS) in School Counseling Program is designed for experienced schoolteachers who have master's degrees and wish to continue their professional development in a formalized educational program that will help them develop a specialty area applicable to the public school setting. Currently offered only at Argosy University/Sarasota, the EdS in School Counseling Program is a 30-semester credit hour program of study that incorporates coursework designed to help students in meeting the specialization requirements for certification in Guidance and Counseling (Grades K - 12) in the state of Florida. Because of certification variations among states, students should check with regional authorities to confirm their requirements.
