State-level school counselor certification requirements are discussed with respect to program evaluation expectations. Certification offices of all 50 states and Washington, DC, were asked to supply current school counselor knowledge and skill requirements. Nineteen states and Washington, DC, require some form of program evaluation knowledge and skills. Only Colorado and Washington specifically require program evaluation standards recommended by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs for their school counseling programs. These findings suggest that the nation may be producing school counselors deficient in the program evaluation skills needed to meet their professional responsibilities. Several recommendations are made for ameliorating the current training deficiencies of pre-service school counselors and for using in-service training to remediate the program evaluation knowledge and skill gap of practicing school counselors. Implications for the larger evaluation community are discussed
