Why earn your M.S. in Counseling Psychology (Online) at CBU?
Qualify for licensure
The M.S. in Counseling Psychology program aligns with the degree and coursework requirements
for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in the state of California,
and as a Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC), for those students who complete the
course sequence, as set forth by California’s Board of Behavioral Sciences.
*If you are planning to seek a professional license or certification in a state other
than California, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate state
licensing agency to determine all of the educational and other requirements for licensure
or certification, before enrolling in a CBU program.
