For those holding a master's degree in School Counseling or certification at the "A" level (AL) or "5th-year" level (GA) by the respective State Departments of Education, the 30 credit-hour Ed.S. may be applied toward "AA" (AL) or "6th-year" (GA) certification. For those holding a master's degree in non-school areas (e.g., Community Counseling, Rehabilitation Counseling, etc.), the 30 credit-hour Ed.S. may be employed to offset 2000 of the required 3000 hours of post-master's supervision required for licensure by the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling. For these students, the required minimum academic curriculum for licensure must be completed prior to enrollment. For either of these professional needs, the Ed.S. is intended to provide course work and supervised experience for advanced practitioners.     Accreditation Information: Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (S.A.C.S.)  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Master's degree in an area of counseling, and for those in the school setting a master's level teaching certificate in school counseling  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: 1000 GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Three letters of recommendation    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
