Dual Certification
Dual Degree Programs

Students may pursue two degrees and dual certification in both school counseling and school psychology. Students must meet all the requirements of both programs. To meet the school counseling degree and certification requirements, school psychology students must complete 18 additional credits in School Counseling (COUN 516, Career Development K-12; COUN 527, Counseling Tests and Measurements; and three quarters of Counseling Internship). To meet the school psychology degree and certification requirements, school counseling students must complete an additional 48 credits of coursework in the School Psychology Program, including a full-time, year-long internship which may be taken concurrently with the school counseling internship. Total credit hours for both degrees and dual certification: 117. The application options are:

1. Initial Seattle University Application: Individuals intending to pursue the dual degree/certification option should apply for both programs when they initially apply to Seattle University. If done at this point, applicants must complete the admissions packets and meet admission requirements for both programs. Applicants will be notified of their admission status separately. This option assures the maximum scheduling flexibility.
2. At the Completion of 20 credits: At the completion of 20 credits, students are reviewed for candidacy in their respective programs. Students in either program may apply for admission to the other program at this time by
   1. completing the Declaration of a Second Degree form, and
   2. returning this form to the program coordinator of the new program during the first week of the quarter following the completion of 20 hours.
3. Forms are available in the program office or from advisors. Students will be notified of their admission status by the Office of Admissions. Admission status will be effective the quarter following the application. After Candidacy: Students may apply to either program after receiving candidacy in either program by following the same procedure as applying at the completion of 20 credits (see above).
