Roosevelt University?s home state, Illinois, and most other states, require a master?s degree that consists of a 48 semester hour curriculum, like the Clinical Professional Psychology MA program. Some states, however, require a 60 semester-hour degree , and states? laws change over time. Students are urged you to check with the Board that oversees the LPC and LCPC licenses in the State in which they intend to work after completing the Clinical Professional Psychology MA degree. (An index of State Licensing Boards can be found by visiting the National Board for Certified Counselors at this address http://www.nbcc.org/directory/Default.aspx). Should a state require a 60 semester-hour degree , it is recommended that the student consult with the director of Clinical MA Programs about the appropriateness of adding the four course ?Advanced Clinical Counseling Sequence,? described below, to his/her curriculum.
