College counselling is a mandatory structure of any school/college/university in the United States and is an integral part of the US education system.
Some countries in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific do not have formal school counselling programmes. They use teachers or psychologists for consultations, with an emphasis on developing the student's academic potential and future career.
Countries differ in how they provide College counselling programs and services depending on funding, social capital (private/public), and College Counselors' certification and licensing. School counselling is currently available in 62 countries[1].
In the United States, a College Counselor is a certified teacher with a master's degree in school counselling (usually a Counselor Education alumni program) with school counselling training for graduates, including qualifications and skills for academic decision-making, career, college enrollment and personal/social needs. After receiving a master's degree, you can choose one of the certification options to obtain a full license from a professional school counsellor. (Source: US College Council).
