Announcements
Fall 2025 Cohort |
Due to increased enrollment, we are at capacity for summer and fall 2025 CMHC and SC Cohorts. Spring 2026 Cohort applications will open July 1, 2025. Current students accepted before Fall 2025 will not follow the cohort model. |
CACREP |
Great News! The Clinical Mental Health Counseling MAE program is now CACREP Accredited! |
CAEP |
The School Counseling program-Options 1 & 2 are CAEP accredited! |
Praxis Core Exam |
The School Counseling Option 2 Students are NO LONGER required to complete the Praxis Core Exam! Hooray! |
Praxis Subject Exam | All School Counseling Students (Options 1 & 2) are required to pass Praxis Counseling Subject Exam #5422 to graduate. Please do not register for #5421, as it is no longer accepted for endorsement. ETS requires a 28-day waiting period before repeating the exam should you fail an attempt. Thus, you must schedule to take this exam during Practicum at least one semester before graduation. |
CPCE Exit Exam | All CMHC students are required to pass the CPCE before graduating. As of Aug 2023, candidates taking the CPCE will be allowed two attempts within the 6-month administration window. If you fail the first attempt, you can reregister 30 days after the first attempt. So, to be safe and ensure we have a passing score by graduation, you must schedule to take this exam during Practicum. |
Cohort Model |
As part of this year’s exciting changes, our Counselor Education program has transitioned to a cohort model. In this structure, all students in the cohort move through the program together, taking the same courses each term. This model fosters a strong sense of community, support, and collaboration among students and faculty. Because each course builds intentionally on the last, the sequence is fixed, and all students must follow the same progression throughout the program without deviation. |
Mental Health Licensure and School Counseling Endorsement |
The CMHC & SC programs are designed to prepare students for licensure or endorsement in Nebraska. If you plan to pursue licensure or endorsement in a state other than Nebraska, please check the state's licensing board to determine licensing requirements. You may be required to complete additional coursework for licensure/endorsement or authorization before beginning a clinical or field experience. Please reach out to your advisor with any questions.
