CUNY Hunter College Reviews of Master's in School Counseling

"Specifically for the School Counseling program, the professors are all knowledgeable, passionate and committed to the field. Hunter College offers a great school counseling program. Hunter College graduates get a job soon after obtaining their degree/certification."

"The School Counseling program at Hunter College is extremely rigorous. I feel that with knowledgeable staff and intense course requirements such as a semester of practicum and two semesters of internship along with regular supervision, I will emerge from my program ready to take on any challenges that I will face as a counselor. Regarding the curriculum, I feel that I am consistently getting information that is relevant to this field and I am learning every aspect of what the field of school counseling entails. I believe that I am getting the best possible training at an affordable rate. The downsides of this program involves the very few financial aid options as well as course availability. It has been very difficult to hold a job that can work around a constantly changing schedule, and the consequence of that has been the struggle to pay for classes. However, I believe these sacrifices will be worth it when I finally have a career and can begin making differences in the lives of students."

"As far as pros, the professors are very knowledgeable about the topics they are teaching, they are available to talk outside of class, and they find ways to make the class engaging. As far as cons, the program can be a little disorganized sometimes and it doesn't provide much information about where students can find ways to support themselves financially."

"The program is very competitive. It prepares you for the real world of counseling. Administration could be more supportive."

"Excellent program. Very challenging but it prepares us for the real world."

"Honestly speaking, I do believe the School Counseling program at Hunter College is a good program to attend. Like all schools, the program has its faults, however, most professors are extremely helpful and provide students with information that we can use in our future employment opportunities."

"Hunter has been a rewarding experience compared to my first Masters program. Above all, the faulty are the best asset in my program. They are kind and supportive and willing to answer questions to help you make decisions about your future. They are also very understanding and flexible if you are attending part-time and juggling a full-time career."
