Most teachers studying in online master’s programs arrange their own internship, usually at their current school or another one in their district. If you are new to education and changing careers, you may find that friends, family or colleagues have contacts in local schools who can pave the way for an internship experience. You can also reach out to school districts in your area directly. K-12 counselors are in high demand, so chances are good a school or district will be able to help.

When you apply to the A-State online MSE in School Counseling program, start making your internship arrangements right away. Don’t forget to secure a commitment from a licensed counselor with the proper qualifications who will be available to supervise your practice experience.
