hi, you don't need a masters degree in psych to be a school counselor. different universities will call the degree different things, but you need a masters in education with specialization in counseling. that's what they call it at my university.

What is the difference between Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Education

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree is generally a pre-service degree that usually requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the Bachelor's degree. While the program often requires education classes in order to meet state licensure requirements, it emphasizes advanced course work in a specific academic discipline to enhance one's knowledge in that subject area. Candidates usually spend a semester as a student teacher in order to earn the degree. There are two general models that (MAT) degrees follow: a 5th year model in which students spend one year extra beyond their bachelor’s degree to earn a masters degree and an initial teaching license; and a Flex program which usually offers part time weekend and evening courses to accommodate professionals who are changing careers. The Master’s of Arts in Teaching degree is often advantageous to middle school and secondary school teachers because it allows them to focus on subject area knowledge in their undergraduate program and then acquire pedagogical skills in their graduate studies. It differs from the Masters in Education (MEd) degree which is usually geared toward practicing teachers, or toward those who desire to serve as counselors (school or otherwise) or as educational administrators.

CanProf is correct, but I'd like to add one thing. the Master of Education is usually the type of degree but you focus on a specific area. So you might get an MEd Reading, or MEd Instructional Technology, or MEd Curriculum Instruction and Design. The MAT degree cannot be specified to any specific area. It is strictly general teaching.

If you speak German, most universities offer free or inexpensive college education, and international students are admitted. Fachhochschule Pforzheim, between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, offers an International Business certificate program with classes in English. It also offers a standard MBA program (as well as other program) with most classes in German.

As far as I know there is no University in Germany that offers free Master degrees, except for you have studied there from the first semster, however in comparison to many other countries tuition is not that high as we just started to charge at all, if you speak German you should be able to staudy at any university, if not you need to look for international studies, I have studied international business in Dresden (www.htw-dresden.de) check the page they have all the fees online, ask me for help if you need greets Anne

I left uni in 2003, at this time studying for a masters degree was still free. I was at the Uni of Tübingen living in a student dorm. Several of the people living on the same flor where intenational students doing their masters in Hydrogeography - completely for free and a few of them on a scholarship from the DAAD (450 EUR a month then) see http://www.daad.de. The course was taught completely in English. There are nowadays several universities that have masters degrees taught in English, I am sure you'll be able to find one. (www.uni-magdeburg.de is one of them.)The DAAD also still exists and will hand out scholarships to gifted international students. As to student fees - I don't know anything about them. (They are a recent addition to German student life.) But if you found a course that interests you, why don't you write to the university to inquire about this? Be warned though, that even if the course is free, you will still be asked to support yourself during your stay out of your savings or you will be asked by the German government to leave the country. A non-EU student will be given a limited work permit to supplement hir income by working for 90 days fulltime or 180 days parttime. A EU student will not require a work permit, but will instead be subject to the same student labour restrictions the Germans are under - also working only part-time during the whole year or fully during the semester breaks. Yet anyway you turn it, most part-time jobs will not cover the roughly 500-700 EUR per month you need at mimimum to cover your cost of living in Germany. Hope I helped.
