For the 2025-26 academic year, the tuition charge for students in the Master of Education in Counseling (MEd) Program will be $5,155 per unit. The MEd Counseling program is a 15-unit program of study that is consistent with the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accreditation standards. The University of Puget Sound is currently seeking this new accreditation. Pending approval of the accreditation process, candidates who graduate within 18 months from the time the first CACREP compliant cohort completes the program will be recognized as completing a CACREP program.
Students currently in their first year will see the cost for the second year of enrollment change to reflect the actual tuition and fee rates approved for that given year.
