Cairn’s MS in Counseling Program
Cairn University’s MSC program is a 60-credit master’s program, which consists of coursework that equips students to begin the process of obtaining licensure in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. Graduates of the MSC program have also utilized their coursework to pursue and obtain licensure in many other states*. In many states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the educational requirement for licensure as a counselor is 60 credits. Because state licensure requirements vary and change, we cannot confirm whether or not the MSC program meets the requirements for licensure in states other than Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
*If you are a graduate or prospective student who is interested in pursuing licensure in a state other than Pennsylvania or New Jersey, please contact the Director of Practicum and Internships to discuss program compatibility.
