What makes the Lynchburg MEd in School Counseling unique?
Our students can count on the value of extensive hands-on learning and faculty with a deep knowledge base.
Lynchburg taught me that the main focus of counseling is the relationship with the student, so despite navigating a whole new virtual world during COVID, I was able to focus on the positives of fostering relationships with my students despite the lockdown.
