*Licensure requirements vary by state; students outside Indiana are responsible for determining if this curriculum meets their own state requirements. Indiana requires 40 credits for the LAC license preparation. Most Bachelor degrees in Psychology, Social Work, Human Services, etc. include some of those 40 credits. Students who have not completed courses in Abnormal Psychology, Developmental Psychology and related areas can take those at SMWC.
