School Counseling – Hawaii
School Counselor
Hawaii requires applicants have a master’s in school counseling. A 3-year, non-renewable provisional license can be issued to individuals who have a state approved teacher education program (SATEP) in Hawaii or another U.S. state and have less than 3 years of full-time teaching experience.
Since Liberty’s program is not a Hawaii-approved SATEP, students must follow Option B:
