I can’t believe you just put up this video! I feel like it’s fate! I considered Pepperdine too but after hearing your experience I may look elsewhere. I have a BS in psych and have been considering doing my masters in counseling also but I have a whole different set of factors against me than you😅 two little kids and a husband In the army. One question I have is can you take your time getting the 3000 hrs or do you have to get them within a certain period? And do you think your degree prepares you for the preliminary licensure exam or does that require extra studying on your part?

It might be different per state. But I think for Illinois there is no maximum you can get the hours in but there is a minimum of 1 year. I don’t think my program prepared me for the licensure exam. Some friends I have told me they had a class in their program that helps them prepare but even with that more studying was required for them. So definitely time consuming!

Hi, what does a masters in counseling program that does prepare you for the licensure exam look like to you now? Idk if you have taken the exam yet but maybe you have some insight on that please and thank you !😊

We didn’t have any specific classes to prepare us for the exam. I have just have been doing my own studying so I am not sure!
