Exploring a Career in Counseling? This Session's for You.
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 | 5:00 p.m. | Virtual via Zoom
Whether your interest is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or you are still exploring which counseling path is right for you, we invite you to join us for an upcoming information session focused on NEIU's CACREP-accredited Master of Arts in Rehabilitation Counseling — a program that may open doors you have not yet considered.
Rehabilitation Counseling shares a strong foundation with Clinical Mental Health Counseling, including a pathway to LPC and LCPC licensure in Illinois, but offers distinct advantages that set it apart:
- Fully online program — complete your degree from anywhere with no on-campus requirement
- In-state tuition for all students — regardless of where you live, you pay Illinois resident tuition rates, making this one of the most affordable CACREP-accredited counseling programs available
- Expanded career opportunities — work with individuals with disabilities across rehabilitation agencies, hospitals, community mental health centers, schools, and private practice settings
- CRC certification eligibility — earn the nationally recognized Certified Rehabilitation Counselor credential in addition to LPC/LCPC licensure
During this session you will also learn about:
- How Rehabilitation Counseling compares to and complements other forms of counseling
- LCP and CRC: what's the relationship
- CACREP-accreditation: what does it mean to you
- Admissions requirements, application deadlines, and tips for a strong application
- Financial aid, scholarships, and other funding opportunities
- Career pathways and outcomes for NEIU counseling graduates
