Clinical/Counseling Psychology is an on-campus program, fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), that places students in supervised field experiences both within and outside of New York State (NYS). NYU is authorized pursuant to the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) to enroll students in supervised field experiences in the SARA states and territories. For further details regarding NYU's SARA membership please visit the NYU State Authorization website. SARA requires universities to disclose to applicants and students whether programs that lead to professional licensure meet the educational requirements for licensure in those states in which students are doing learning placements.
NYU's Clinical/Counseling Psychology program conducts placement activity in NYS, where it meets the academic requirements for state licensure. The program also conducts placement activity in several states outside NYS and has made the following determination with respect to the academic requirements for professional licensure in those specific states, as noted below. If you are interested in having a placement in a different state or gaining licensure in a different state other than those listed below, please contact Jordan Wright to discuss if this is possible.
Note, state regulations change frequently, and the information posted here may have changed at the time of your specific application to or enrollment in our program of study. This resource from the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) may also be helpful for basic information on licensure of psychologists in the United States and Canada. Please check with Jordan Wright if you have specific questions about whether our program meets the academic requirements for licensure in a specific state.
