Professional Licensure Disclosure
Requirements for professional licensure in counseling vary from state to state. Winthrop’s
School Counseling program is designed to meet SC and NC licensure requirements for
school counseling and may not meet requirements from other states. We are unable to
make a determination about whether or not our program will lead to licensure in other
states. Before beginning any academic program that leads to licensure, we strongly
recommend you contact the state licensing board where you wish to seek licensure to determine whether the program you are considering
will meet that state's licensing requirements.
