The program trains students to work in K-12 School Counseling settings or in a variety of Clinical Mental Health settings. Asynchronous and digital synchronous learning is used for all our courses and supervisory activities. Please note that our skills courses do have an in-person, on-campus learning component associated with the online course. While enrolled in these courses (EPY 501, EPY 507, EPY 508, EPY 603), students are required to meet on campus three Saturdays per semester to participate in clinical labs for a total of six (6) Saturdays over the three years of the program. Dates will be published in advance at the time of enrollment. Students <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">who need an alternative option for clinical labs due to religious or health reasons must notify their instructor at the start of the semester. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Counselor Education Program has been accredited by the Council for Accreditation for Counselor Education and Related Programs (CACREP) since 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Program Cycle<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Counselor Education Program operates in a cohort model. Candidates meet with their coordinator to develop a Plan of Study prior to enrolling. The Clinical Mental Health Counseling option and the School Counseling option both require 60 credits for completion. Classes begin in mid-May (Summer Session 1) and it takes three years to complete the program. School Counseling candidates may take additional courses to become a licensed clinical mental health counselor which may extend the program length. All candidates are required to take an exit exam in the spring prior to graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Gate Keeping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">In view of the responsibilities of the role of the counselor in both school and community settings, candidates whose work is of marginal quality in pertinent courses or who demonstrate personal qualities that are not conducive to the role of counselor will not be recommended either for matriculation or for continuation in the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Licensure\/Certification<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Western Connecticut State University Clinical Mental Health Program meets the educational requirements for both the Connecticut Department of Public Health for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and the New York State Office of the Professions for licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Students seeking licensure in another state should notify the program coordinator of the state in which they wish to be licensed to confirm educational requirements before starting the program. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Western Connecticut State University School Counseling concentration meets the educational requirements for certification as a school counselor in Connecticut.
