Completion of the CMHC option, in addition to the major core requirements above, satisfies all academic requirements for the MFT & LPCC licenses. If the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) mandates changes in curriculum for trainees in either license path, the Department of Counseling will revise courses accordingly so the curriculum remains in compliance with BBS standards. The course descriptions in this catalog edition may not be the most current versions if such curricular revisions are undertaken after the catalog is printed.
