State Specific Licensure
While Walsh University can provide initial guidance, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to continually check the state where you intend to seek licensure and to confirm all licensing or certification requirements. Some states will require additional licensure requirements which could include an application, post-graduate examinations, background checks, licensing fees, etc.
You may visit our Nursing Licensure page, School Counseling Licensure page and our Clinical Mental Health Counseling Licensure page to view more information on individual state licensure requirements.
Please contact your program advisor with any further questions.
