http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-online-masters-in-counseling/
Counselors all across the country are finding that specialized education is the best path forward towards advancing their degree. That's why so many working professionals in the field have decided to turn to online schools in order to balance work and studying. That's why College Choice has created this ranking.
Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, had this to say about what a master's degree in counseling can lead to: "Possible career paths include educational, vocational, and school counselors, rehabilitation counselors, mental health counselors, addiction and substance abuse counselors, behavioral disorder counselors, marriage and family counselors, pastoral counselors, and more. Employment of community and social service occupations, of which counselors are a part, is projected to grow 10 percent from 2014 to 2024. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, counseling jobs are expected to grow faster than average."
The 2016 ranking Best Online Master's in Counseling Degree Programs from College Choice was created using factors like academic reputation, student retention rate, online school services, tuition and more. All of this information was taken from each school's online program website as well as independent ranking and statistics sites like Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the National Center for Education Statistics.
