Villanova has made no determination, and does not guarantee, that our curriculum satisfies the educational requirements for school counseling professional licensure/certification in other states. However, most states through the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement will allow out of state prepared educators to transfer their school counseling certification. It is strongly recommended that students who live or are planning to live outside of Pennsylvania and who are enrolled in our programs contact their state’s department of education for their state’s specific educational requirements. It is also recommended that students obtain their PA certification first then apply for certification in another state.
