  • Graduates from other schools whose prior degree lacks sufficient credits or specific required courses for licensure in their target state AND who after consulting with their home state counselor board sign a waiver to pursue the 91³Ô¹Ï Graduate Counseling Professional Year program.Ìý

Philip A a counseling student at 91³Ô¹Ï.

“My journey at 91³Ô¹Ï has been truly joyful. Looking back, I did not anticipate the depth of transformation I would undergo.

In my heart, I am deeply grateful, inspired, and empowered.”

FAQs

I completed my counseling degree at another institution. Can I complete the required courses for licensure at 91³Ô¹Ï?

It depends on the total number of credits and the conferral date of your existing degree.

  • If you have a conferred Master’s degree of 48+ credits: Yes. You may apply to our Professional Year courses to earn the remaining credits needed to reach the 60-credit licensure threshold. The Pennsylvania licensing board accepts multiple transcripts to meet the 60-credit requirement, provided your foundational degree was at least 48 credits (conferred after June 30, 2009).
  • If your conferred degree is fewer than 48 credits: No. The licensing board will not accept a “completion certificate” or “tacked-on” credits to bridge a degree that was below the 48-credit minimum. In this case, you would need to apply to a full degree program (such as our MA or MS in Counseling). Please note that university policy does not currently allow for the transfer of credits from a previously conferred degree toward a second degree.
  • Out-of-State Students: While Pennsylvania allows “split” credits between institutions for the 60-credit total, other states may not. If you are seeking licensure outside of Pennsylvania, we cannot guarantee that your state board will accept credits earned at multiple institutions. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the home state counselor board to ensure they would meet the educational requirements for licensure. Applicants will also need to after submitting the application.Ìý

Students pursuing the MA in Community Counseling can change their program to pursue MS in Counseling at any point by completing the program change form in the Registrar’s area of the website. Interviews with the Counseling faculty and adherence to the GPA requirements are required prior to admittance to the MS.

Students who graduate with an MA in Community Counseling can apply for the Graduate Counseling Professional Year program to complete the required credits for licensure.

The Graduate Counseling Professional Year can also be used for cases where the student completed a 91³Ô¹Ï Counseling program years ago and needs only certain credits. The application for admission is still required.Ìý

Students will earn the Post-Master’s Certificate in Professional Counseling upon completing the specific required core courses:

  • CSG 856Ìý– Research Methods & Program Evaluation
  • CSG 860Ìý– Professional Development Practicum
  • CSG 891Ìý– Professional Internship I
  • CSG 892Ìý– Professional Internship II
  • THE 601Ìý– Overview of Christian Theology

Please note:ÌýTo receive the certificate, students must complete these exact core classes. If these exact courses are not completed, a certificate will not be awarded. You may take additional courses beyond this core list if needed for state licensure, but completing these core classes is necessary to earn the certificate.

The Graduate Counseling Professional Year program is not fully available online yet, as not all courses are offered in that format. Below is the tentative timeline when courses will be ready:Ìý

Spring, 2027:

– CSG 821: Human Growth and Development

Summer, 2027:

– CSG 860: Professional Development Practicum

Fall, 2027:

– CSG 891: Professional Internship 1

– CSG 856: Research Methods and Program Evaluation

Spring, 2028:

– CSG 892: Professional Internship 2

– CSG 857: Assessment and Appraisal in Counseling

Below is the process for interested students:Ìý

  1. Submit your application from /apply.Ìý
  2. The Department of Counseling team will review your transcript to identify the specific classes needed in order to be license eligible.Ìý
  3. The Department of Counseling will then present the student with the classes needed and the semesters those classes are available.Ìý

Professional licensure and certification requirements can vary by state and territory. Additional licensure requirements may include professional examinations, additional coursework, background checks, years of work experience, fingerprinting requirements, etc. Students who are considering a program that may allow them to pursue professional licensure in the state or territory where they are currently located or where they plan to locate in the future should review the state’s or territory’s information below and contact the appropriate licensing agency to seek information and additional guidance.

State licensure requirements are also subject to change. Students should always check with their state licensure board to confirm licensure requirements.

If you would like assistance in this process, please feel free to contact theÌýDirector of Practicum and InternshipsÌýor refer to theÌýLicensure and Certification DisclosuresÌýpage.Ìý
