Portability Is a Current and Important Issue Within the Profession

Portability is a current and important issue within the profession of counseling. Portability means that:

A) Counselors can practice counseling across counseling specialty areas and work settings (e.g., counselors with degrees in mental health counseling practicing in K-12 schools)
B) Students in counseling programs should be able to transfer graduate credits from one counselor education program to another if they move during their training program.
C) The process of becoming licensed in one state is expedited if already licensed in another.
D) A degree in a non-related field will be accepted by state licensing boards as long as the individuals who hold those degrees have extensive experience.
