Follow up surveys of program graduates indicate consistently high placement rates in a variety of educational, community, business and industry, health services and private practice settings.  All University of Idaho CASP graduates are immediately eligible to take the National Counselor Examination (NCE) and to apply for State certification as a school counselor/psychologist.  This degree also leads to eligibility for obtaining an Idaho Licensed Professional Counselor Credential.
