Licensure and Credentialing
Professional mental health practitioners are held to high standards of care and professionalism.  As such, Master of Arts in Counseling students pursuing clinical work after graduation must complete additional requirements.  Requirements for licensure are set forth by statutory laws and regulations and vary from state to state.  Subsequent requirements include, but are not limited to, application to a state licensing regulatory board, post-graduate direct clinical hours, plan and approval of a supervisor, and successful passage of a national licensure examination.  Students will create a plan for academic, clinical, and post-graduate licensure with the guidance of faculty.

New Mexico is also rather unique when it comes to psychology as well. PhDs in it are allowed to prescribe, don't need to be MD
