ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

† NCCA Certification is not a state license. It is recognition by a quality faith-based organization that certifies that the student has successfully completed the requirements set forth by NCCA for competent biblical counseling.

Additional fees above the tuition are required for certification. Please call the Christian Counseling Department to learn about the current additional fees or see our Student Catalog on this website.
