DSPS Pre-approved 60-Credit Hour Licensed Professional
Counselor Programs
Please Note: If a program is CACREP Accredited and meets the criteria in the Wisconsin
Administrative Code it will not appear on this list. Please reference Wisconsin Administrative Code
MPSW 11.01 2.) b. regarding the five (5) CACREP degree specializations automatically pre-
approved by the State of Wisconsin. Applicants graduating from a CACREP-approved program in
one of these specializations must have their school submit Form# 1960 Professional Counselor
Certificate of Professional Education as part of their application materials.
The programs listed below have applied for pre-approval with the state of Wisconsin’s Department
of Safety and Professional Services because: 1. They are not currently accredited through CACREP
or 2. Their program specialization is not one of the five (5) pre-approved CACREP specializations
listed in the Wisconsin Administrative Code. All DSPS pre-approved programs have had their
curriculum and course syllabi reviewed and approved by the Professional Counselor section of the
Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional Counseling and Social Work (MPSW) Examining
Board.
Applicants graduating from a DSPS Pre-approved 60 Credit Program are required to submit
Official Transcripts as part of their application process, which are compared to the approved
Course Grid (listed by school below) for their institution. Courses reviewed and approved during
the program’s application process comprise the Course Grid. Schools are responsible for making
sure that curriculum changes are approved by DSPS prior to changing or updating their
curriculum so the Course Grid remains current. Any substitutions/deviations by applicants from
the approved Course Grid will require applicants to submit the course syllabus for review for
equivalency by the MPSW Examining Board and is not a guarantee of approval.
