Pupil Personnel Services Credential for School Counseling

About the Program

Our PPS Credential program consists of 24 units taken over one calendar year (three semesters) and may be easily incorporated into a typical 40-hour work schedule. 

  • Students take an Introduction to School Counseling course for the first five Tuesday evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. of the first semester.
  • Students then take courses on Monday and Wednesday evenings only. Students also attend a three-hour practicum course one additional evening twice a month while completing field placement hours.

Phillips is both experiential and applied in our educational philosophy. All faculty are licensed, practicing professionals with diverse specializations. This brings a wealth of experience to the classroom that enhances the students’ education and prepares them for careers post-graduation.
