Liberty meets education requirements.
School Counseling (48 Hours) – North Carolina
The M.Ed. School Counseling 48-hour program (MECU) is closed to new enrollments, but previously enrolled students are still permitted to finish this program. The below information addresses state requirements measured against the 48-hour program. Degree Completion Plans (DCPs) beginning after July 1, 2023, will reflect the 60-hour School Counseling Program (SHCO). Students on DCPs prior to 2023-2024 whose state requirements are 60 credit hours can contact LUO Academic Advising to switch to the new 23-24 60-hour M.Ed. School Counseling DCP.
North Carolina requires that applicants for this licensure have a master’s in school counseling from a regionally accredited and Board-approved program to earn consideration for licensure and pass the Professional School Counselor Praxis exam (test number 5422) with a minimum passing score of 159.
