Counseling License Only


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Program code: CNSS-LICENSE

The License Only Option for admission is designed for individuals who need additional credits to meet PA state standards for licensure as a professional counselor. In order to be eligible for the License Only Option, individuals must have completed a minimum of a closely-related 36-credit-hour (pre-2009) master’s degree and meet grand-parenting criteria as outlined by the licensure board, or a minimum of a closely-related 48-credit master’s degree (post-2009).

Applicants should contact the department to have their transcript(s) evaluated in order to determine their eligibility for the program and coursework needed. The final determination of course acceptability for licensure is made by the state licensing board. If a student has a question about a course being accepted for licensure or about meeting grand-parenting criteria, they should contact the licensure board directly. Applicants for the “License Only” status must meet the same admissions requirements as degree-seeking applicants.
