Licensure

  • This program curriculum meets the requirements for professional school counseling licensure in North Carolina, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The PSC program at App State cannot guarantee eligibility for licensure in other states. However, faculty work with students who plan to apply for licensure in other states on a case-by-case basis to discuss the necessary avenues for licensure in different states. For more information about licensure requirements in other states, please visit this link from the American School Counselor Association
