School counselors are a growing factor in a young student's school life, so the need for highly trained professionals in this field is expected to grow eight percent through 2022. School counselors who hold a Master's degree are often the best qualified to become part of a public or private school system, leading many professionals already in the field to search for a school that gives them the ability to become helpful partners in a student's life.

"Long-term job satisfaction for school counselors is overwhelmingly high. School counselors enjoy the flexibility of the school schedule (summers off!), and experience the full spectrum of interactions in a school environment, from students to parents to teachers. Although the job can be stressful at times, those who stay in the profession beyond two years report some of the highest rates of job satisfaction in any educational field," says Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking.

The College Choice 2016 Ranking of Best Master's in School Counseling takes into account a school's academic reputation, affordability, student satisfaction, accreditation, and affordability. This information came from verified sources such as individual program websites, The National Center for Education Statistics and U.S. News and World Report.
