Degrees and Certificates

The Department of Counseling offers you options as an educational counselor or clinician, from the groups you serve to the methods by which you obtain your degree. The Certificate in Mental Health is designed to extend coursework for current school counselors for a professional career and licensure as a mental health counselor. 

NOTE: Lamar University does not evaluate credentials for licensing. As such, candidates must contact the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors at https://www.bhec.texas.gov/texas-state-board-of-examiners-of-professional-counselors/index.html for transcript evaluation.
