Program Licensure & Credentialing by State
Federal regulations require us to disclose whether our programs meet the educational requirements for professional licensure in every state and U.S. territory. Below, we have indicated whether our licensure programs meet each state's educational licensure requirements, do not meet them, or where a determination has yet to be made.
We recommend that students who intend to pursue licensure/credentialing review this information prior to applying.

Licensed School Counselor Preparations Programs
Licensed School Counselor Preparations Programs
The Cambridge College, School of Counseling and Psychology (SOPC), Licensed School Counselor Preparations Programs prepares students to meet the Pre-Master’s Degree education and experience requirements for Initial School Counseling License (SC) application in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Students who are considering application for licensure in another state are strongly advised to meet with their Program Chair to review licensure requirements in that state. A state’s Pre-Master’s Degree Education and Experience requirements may be met through careful planning of elective courses as well as Field Experience hours. Reviewing the licensure requirements of the state where a student intends to seek licensure will inform the student about their chosen state's requirements and assist the student in planning the course of their program.
Cambridge College is making every effort to determine whether our programs meet the licensure requirements in each of the fifty-nine U.S. states and territories. However, at this time, only Massachusetts has been verified.
