• New Mexico
• Master of Arts in Education

The state currently does not require applicants pursuing licensure to have graduated with a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)-accredited master’s degree; but may require a graduate degree in a related field. However, WKU's curriculum does not meet this state’s requirement for: 16.27.2.8. "Specialized clinical studies in (5) psychopharmacology; (6) advanced testing."

Additional requirements for state licensure may include background checks, official transcripts, fees, additional coursework, training, experience, and board examination results.
