Master of Arts in School Counseling (MASC)
Accredited by the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP), the Master of Arts in School Counseling (MASC) program at the University of the Virgin Islands is a rigorous 48-credit hour program consistent with the 2024 School Counseling Specialty Standards of the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
Students enrolled in the program prepare for positions and careers as professional school counselors in the US Virgin Islands, broader Caribbean, continental United States, or elsewhere in the world. Academic coursework and experiential learning activities develop MASC students' dispositions and professional awareness, knowledge, and skills that promote school students' development in the three domains of school counseling: academic development; career development (which includes college awareness, preparation, and selection) and social-emotional (i.e., personal) development.
An application for graduate admission must be submitted to the University of the Virgin islands Office of Admissions. Applicants for matriculation must possess a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. All requirements for the MASC degree can be completed via the Orville E. Kean Campus, St. Thomas; the Albert E. Sheen Campus, St. Croix; and the University of the Virgin Islands at University of St. Martin (UVI@USM) Campus.
Join us for a MASC Interest Meeting and Information Session for prospective students to learn more about the program, the application process, and how you can become part of a supportive community of professional school counselors dedicated to fostering students’ academic, social-emotional and career development in the US Virgin Islands, the eastern Caribbean, and beyond.
