Online Bachelors in Social Work

the link i posted about community counseling it has changed to clinical rehabilitation counseling Thomas University | Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling - MS (Online)

 

Wow thanks for posting the link Major56 is the Chicago school of professional psychology expensive or not? i also see that they offer a B.A in psychology as well i read it was a good school i was thinking of attending there but not many colleges were accepting my high school so i decided to attend a college that accepted then use the credits earned and meet the transfer requirements some wanted me to have some credits to enter their bachelors program

 

does anyone else know of any degrees that will help fill the requirements for LPC in Georgia?

 

There are a number of degree programs out there that meet the requirements. Georgia seems similar to Oklahoma in that they have 3 requirements -

1) You must complete a degree that is based in either counseling or applied psychology. This is the tricky part. Regular master's in psych degrees do not meet this criteria. You're looking for something along the lines of counseling, professional counseling, counseling psychology, etc. You can also use graduate degree programs for Marriage and Family Therapy, Human Relations, Substance Abuse Counseling, and similar as long as they meet the criteria that they're primarily counseling in content. If you opt for one of those types of degrees, make sure they have a licensure track (see #3).

2) You must complete graduate-level coursework in required areas. The good news is that you can pick up courses in those required areas before, during, or after obtaining the degree. With a little planning, you can figure out what, if anything, you need to take additionally ahead of time. OK also requires a total of 60 credits in psychology and or counseling to qualify. I'm not sure what Georgia requires, but many states are moving to 60 credits, if they're not already there. That being said, there's some states that require only 45 credits... for now.

3) They require a practicum/internship. What Jonathan shared up there doesn't have a specific number of hours required, but (for example) my state requires 300 hours. There are programs like University of the Cumberland's MAPC which has one 100 hour practicum and two 300 hour internships. Your mileage will vary, but make sure you meet the requirements for your state in the program you choose; I've not seen any schools offer an internship or practicum class a la carte.

 

I might have to go with Thomas University they offer a course online Thomas University | Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling - MS (Online) these meet the requirements for the CRC and LPC exam

 

Are there any websites i can search schools that offer online courses? i tried googling masters counseling/psychology online but couldn't find any that offered it online

 

I will just stick with Thomas university for clinical rehabilitation counseling. students are seated for the CRC exam to become a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and are prepared for the LAPC and LPC exam. does anyone know if there are doctorate degrees for counseling? my executive director is a LPC and has a Ed.D. i need more understanding of it is an Ed.D a doctorate in counseling? i also read there is a PH.D in counseling as well.
