Admission Requirements: Applicants from diverse academic, social, and cultural backgrounds committed to advancing the profession of school counseling are encouraged to apply. Applicants who do not meet a specific requirement (e.g., GPA), but show strength in other requirements will be considered on an individual basis. Admission is not based on any single factor, but on a composite assessment of the following: 1. An official transcript of the baccalaureate degree and all other undergraduate or graduate work directly from each accredited college or university. 2. A minimum GPA of 3.0 for the last 60 sequential units completed. 3. Official scores of the Graduate Record Examination or the Miller Analogies Test taken within the last five years.* 4. Three letters of reference, at least two of which should be from instructors or supervisors who will assess a prospective student’s academic ability and/or potential for effectiveness in the field. 5. A detailed personal statement (1,500 - 3,000 words) which informs the faculty about the applicant’s personal and educational background, strengths and weaknesses, understanding of and motivation and suitability for entering into the school counseling profession, and longterm professional goals. This statement is very important because it enables the faculty to make informed decisions regarding admission. 6. Complete and return a graduate application form, along with appropriate non-refundable application fee, to the The Citadel Graduate College (CGC), Bond Hall Room 101. 7. A personal group admissions interview with an Academic Review Board to assess personal and professional readiness and satisfactory completion of requirements. 8. Completed Admissions Questionnaire (http://citadel.edu/ graduatecollege/forms) * The minimum acceptable score for all degree programs is a score of 396 on the MAT or 900 on the GRE. Students who score between 380 and 395 on the MAT or 750-899 on the GRE may apply for provisional status. Students may enroll for one semester under provisional status upon completion of all other requirements and review by department. Students may enroll for only 6 hours and must maintain a 3.50 GPA in order to be classified as degree seeking. Regular admission is granted upon completion of CGC requirements and respective program requirements and review by department. Applicants should provide all of the above materials to The Citadel Graduate College, 171 Moultrie Street, Charleston, SC 29409-6250. The application deadlines are March 1st for summer admission, October 1st for spring admission, and June 1st for fall admission. The formal application in School Counseling or Student Affairs and College Counseling at The Citadel is procured from the office of The Citadel Graduate College, located in Bond Hall 101 or online at www.citadel.edu/admission/g/apply. The telephone number is (843) 953-5089. All successful applicants are initially admitted in a “conditionally classified” status. Admitted students will receive a letter from The Citadel Graduate College. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with a faculty advisor early in the first term to begin preparing an official study plan. Prior to meeting with an advisor, each student should become familiar with the current applicable semester’s class schedule, The Citadel Graduate College catalog, and the Division of Counselor Education Handbook. Students are also required to attend Counselor Education Town Hall Gatherings each semester. An official study plan is submitted after the student has successfully completed the three courses, EDUC 514 (School Counseling) or 522 (Student Affairs), EDUC 515 (School Counseling) or 537 (Student Affairs), and EDUC 551 and the student has made adequate personal, academic and professional progress during the three designated courses for the Academic Review Board to grant “Unconditional” or “fully classified” status. NOTE: Coursework taken prior to official program admission or coursework taken in other programs does not count toward the school counseling program/degree without written approval from the faculty advisor and the Dean of the School of Education. Students who hold full-time employment shall not register for more than 6 semester hours in any given term. Effective summer 2007, all school counseling students (i.e., degree seeking and certification only seeking) must purchase a LiveText account at The Citadel’s Bookstore. LiveText makes it possible for school counseling students to have secure access to their portfolios and other materials. Through LiveText, faculty members and administrators collect data, generate reports from the data, and use this information to make informed program and unit decisions. Admission Requirements for Certification Only: Applicants who hold a master’s degree in another area of professional education or counseling, but wish to add school counseling certification (elementary or secondary), must provide the same admission materials. Transfer of Credits: Counselor Education M.Ed. degree applicants may transfer a maximum of 12 credit hours of graduate coursework taken at other institutions. Coursework accepted for transfer must be parallel course work within the Counselor Education programs at The Citadel. Transfer of credit is not acceptable for the following Citadel courses: EDUC 515, 552, 624, 629, 650, or 651. Transfer of credit approval must be documented in writing by the faculty advisor and the Dean of the School of Education. School Counseling Program Requirements: Students in either program complete both a School of Education core and a Counseling core for a total of 51 credit hours. Part of the coursework includes a 600 clock-hour internship in either elementary or secondary school counseling settings. Students are required to earn a minimum score of 550 on the PRAXIS II test for guidance and 49
