The University of Mount Olive has one degree path for those looking to pursue an advanced degree in counseling;

The Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree is a 60 semester hour program designed to meet coursework requirements to engage in professional counseling practice for licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC), and licensed clinical addictions specialists (LCAS) in North Carolina. The University is actively pursuing program accreditation through the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education program (CACREP).

To meet federal disclosure regulations under 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v), UMO must provide information to students indicating whether completion of one of these programs meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification in each U.S. state and territory. We review state licensure requirements periodically and, as we become aware of changes, we update this information accordingly. However, because state licensure requirements can change at any time, we encourage individuals to review their state’s licensure requirements regularly and contact the state professional counseling practice board to obtain the most up-to-date and accurate information on licensure requirements. Additional licensure requirements may include state-specific coursework, discipline-specific coursework, supervised clinical supervision experience, and examination.
