There's a reason why MSU Mankato PSCP graduates are leaders in the profession.

Perhaps nothing better attests to the strength of the Professional School Counseling Program at MSU Mankato than the success of its graduates. In addition to the 90%+ employment rate of our graduates in the field of school counseling at the K-12 or postsecondary levels and/or related fields, MSU Mankato students are acknowledged as leaders in the region before graduation.
