Uab school counseling program

The completed application packet must be received by the Counseling Program from the Graduate School by the dates shown for each program on the School of Education Graduate Admissions page. Register for an information session.

Admission to graduate study in Counseling is initiated through the Graduate School and all required materials are to be submitted per specified instructions delineated by the Graduate School. Applicants to the school counseling concentration who do not already hold a teaching certificate in the state of Alabama must complete fingerprinting and a background check as part of their application. Given these requirements, the admission committee considers multiple sources of information when making decisions.

Because GRE test scores are one of several indicators, lower scores will not automatically disqualify applicants just as high scores do not automatically guarantee admission. It should be noted that our applicants typically score above the 50th percentile on both the quantitative and verbal domains. In addition, applicants deemed to have acceptable scores, strong references, appropriate statement of purposes, and grades will be invited for an interview that will include a series of individual interviews, a group experience, and a possible writing sample with the Counseling faculty.

Applicants should not infer they have been admitted into the program if granted an admissions interview. Contact Us. Current Covid Health and Safety Guidelines. School of Public Health News. Kelley Pettee Gabriel shares thoughts on how to increase active lifestyles in America's cities Read More.
