Liberty University’s Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling program is designed to prepare students for professional counseling licensure in certain states and may also support eligibility for the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) credential. The CRC is a separate national certification administered by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) and is distinct from state professional counseling licensure. Eligibility requirements for CRC certification may differ from the educational and clinical requirements associated with professional counseling licensure.
