School counseling classes can help scholars learn how to advise students and parents in an academic setting. A typical program may include lessons on both the theories of counseling and working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

On-campus learning refers to attending classes in person. It typically involves going to traditional classes and lectures, participating in group activities, and engaging with faculty and peers in person. On-campus learning also often includes access to laboratories, libraries, and other campus resources such as student clubs, career services offices, and recreation centers.
