Standards for
Utah School Counselor Education Programs - PDF

GETTING STARTED
Initial licenses (Level 1) are based on the recommendation of the school counselor education program.
Professional school counselors in Utah must meet the following requirements:

  • A master’s degree or higher in school counseling or a related field
  • Degree and license recommendation from an institution accredited by USOE or by one that meets the accreditation standards adopted by the Utah State Board of Education (USBE)
  • A Professional Educator License from the Utah State Office of Education (USOE)

Initial applicants who have attended an institution out-of-state must have:

  • A degree from a CACREP accredited institution (see directory of accredited programs at http://www.cacrep.org/ ), including on-line degree programs, and meet the standards adopted by USBE, which may require the completion of additional coursework
  • A Professional Educator License from the Utah State Office of Education (USOE)
  • See procedures at http://www.schools.utah.gov/cert/OOS/Oosappl.htm

Professional School Counselors initially licensed in another state must have:

  • Current license from another state, and
  • A degree from a CACREP accredited institution (see directory of accredited programs at http://www.cacrep.org/ ), including online degree programs, and meet the standards adopted by USBE, which may require the completion of additional coursework
  • A Professional Educator License from the Utah State Office of Education (USOE)
  • See procedures at http://www.schools.utah.gov/cert/OOS/Oosappl.htm

RENEWAL
Renewal license candidates follow the same procedures for license renewal as teachers. Forms and directions can be found at http://www.schools.utah.gov/cert/require/renewal/renewal.htm
A professional school counselors applying to move from a Level 1 Endorsement to a Level 2 Endorsement does not have to meet the requirements of EYE because he or she was initially licensed at a master’s degree level. He or she does need to complete 3 years of successful full-time employment as a school counselor and have the positive recommendation of the building administrator.
