All College of Education programs, including Counselor Education, are also accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). As a result, graduates are able to fulfill the requirements for state licensure and national certifications in a shorter time following graduation. In addition, the program is also approved as meeting all requirements for state licensure through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board (PC/PCC) and the State Department of Education for school counseling.
