Licensure Information
Important Information on Licensure for the Elon University Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program
At this time, the CMHC program is not yet accredited by CACREP. Consequently, graduates are not eligible to apply for licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) in the state of North Carolina until CACREP accreditation is obtained. Upon accreditation, graduates who meet all additional requirements may become eligible for licensure in North Carolina and, depending on individual state regulations, in other states as well.
Because licensure requirements differ across jurisdictions, students intending to practice outside North Carolina should review the Professional Counseling State Licensure Disclosure Statement to determine how the Elon University CMHC curriculum corresponds to specific state requirements.
