School of Counseling Licensure
Before you begin your journey to licensure with us, please check your individual state below to confirm if the program you are interested in complies with your state’s licensure requirements or complies with the requirements of the state in which you intend to work.
Richmont Graduate University confirms each year that its CMHC program meets the educational requirements for professional licensure in states outside of Georgia and Tennessee. Students who plan to pursue licensure outside of Georgia or Tennessee should be aware that state licensure requirements are subject to changes. Students are ultimately responsible for verifying their individual eligibility for state licensure and satisfying any requirements imposed thereby. While a program may originally meet the educational requirements for licensure, changes in requirements could impact the program’s ability to meet any new educational requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to check with their state licensure board to confirm licensure requirements and obtain additional guidance as needed from the respective licensure board.
Information is subject to change without notice per individual state licensure law/rule changes.
