Program Description

As a UD Clinical Mental Health Counseling student, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to become a successful counselor in community-based and private counseling sessions. We embrace a holistic approach to working with individuals, families and communities, and you will learn to use leading methodologies to practice effectively in any environment. The flexibility of the program structure allows you to choose from two tracks — 2.5 years or 3.5 years. To receive your Professional Counseling License (PC), you are required to pass a test from the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board (CSWMFT). After completing two additional years of supervised experience and passing a second test (PCLE), you will be licensed as a Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC).
