Counseling and Development
Certification and Licensure
 

   Graduates in the school counseling program can meet requirements for either the South or North Carolina School Counseling Specialty Certificate.  Graduates may apply to the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) to take the National Counselor Examination (NCE) prior to graduation from the program.

 

   The School Counseling Program is designed to meet the standards for certification as an elementary and/or secondary counselor established by the South Carolina Department of Education or the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.  Upon completion of the program and achieving the required score on the National Teacher Examination PRAXIS Area Test in School Guidance and Counseling, graduate candidates are eligible to receive certification as an elementary and/or secondary school counselor.

 
   The Community Counseling Program is designed to meet the academic coursework and supervised field experience requirements for state licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in South and North Carolina.  Community track graduate candidates may also complete the National Counselor Exam in the last semester of study.  These experiences enable a student to significantly advance towards national certification by graduation.  Successful graduate candidates will have only the post Master's supervised apprenticeship to be eligible for endorsement as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
