Degree Requirements
Professional Counselor Licensure (LCPC) is issued by The Board of Professional Counselors and Therapist through The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH). We strongly encourage that individuals interested in becoming licensed as a professional counselor visit the Board of Professional Counselors and Therapist website to review licensure requirements. Students are responsible to make sure they meet all educational requirements with the Board. Additionally, individuals should request a transcript review from the Board of Professional Counselors to determine the additional courses he or she needs to satisfy the educational requirements. Individuals are assigned a Loyola academic advisor to assist them in course planning.
