MA in School Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling

The Clinical Mental Health specialization requires 60 units. Upon graduation students are eligible to become Associate Professional Clinical Counselors (APCC as defined by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences). In California, Associate Professional Clinical Counselors are required to complete 3000 post-graduate supervised clinical hours and pass the licensing exam to become Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCC). The program meets licensure eligibility requirements in most other states as well but students are encouraged to check specific requirements for licensure in the state in which they intend to become licensed. The Clinical Mental Health specialization is nationally accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
