Clinical Mental Health Counseling, MS
In accordance with federal requirements for disclosures regarding professional licensure programs under 34 搂C.F.R. 668.43, New P站视频 College has made reasonable efforts to determine if the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program can meet INITIAL professional licensure requirements in each of the 50 U.S. states and its five inhabited territories. Initial licensure determinations do not include renewals or the transfer of licensure from one state to another.
While NEC does its best to ensure the accuracy of this information, it strongly recommended that each student contact the licensing board for the state where they intend to practice, to confirm the licensing requirements. Licensing laws are created and regulated by each individual state鈥檚 licensing board, may vary widely, and can fluctuate regularly. Here is a link to a directory of counseling licensure boards: .
Please note that in addition to educational requirements, ALL states have post-degree requirements for clinical mental health counseling licensure (i.e., accumulation of supervised post-degree clinical hours, state licensing exams, jurisprudence exams, etc.).
In order to meet the licensure requirements in certain states, a student鈥檚 specific CMHC program requirements at NEC may be extended beyond 60 credits. This may be due to additional pre-master鈥檚 supervised practice hours or additional content courses.
