Abstract: This study used a qualitative descriptive approach to explore student experiences in the process of converting a traditional classroom graduate program to an online distance learning program.Open-ended questions were administered using the discussion section of Blackboard to students enrolled in an online school counseling course. Findings: Analysis of the qualitative data resulted in a description of the students’ view and learning experiences in online course delivery including the strengths and weaknesses. Conclusions: Overall, the strengths of online delivery outweigh the weaknesses. There is a need for improvement in technology systems, and the personal interaction in online learning. Clinical Relevance: This study is relevant because there is not enough research exploring the learning experiences of graduate students in an online school counseling program.
