Proposal to limit licensure to CACREP Program graduates
 

I was the Academic Director of Seton Hall's Online Educational Specialist Program in Counseling until 2015.  I continue to teach in the program.  For many years our program has had a number of military personnel enrolled.  I believe restricting the availbility of Internship supervisors could be especially problematic for active duty military students, who have little say as to where they may be stationed.  Since Virginia is a state with a large military presence, I believe that this restriction would be very problematic for SHU students and likely others as well.  This proposed restriction seems to serve programs, rather than students.  John E.
