About Alaska Behavioral Health Schools

4 schools in Alaska run 2 CACREP counseling programs, 3 CSWE social work programs and 1 APA-accredited psychology program, spread across 2 cities. One of them trains for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

What you need after graduating depends on the license. For Alaska, see counselor licensure in Alaska, social work licensure in Alaska and psychologist licensure in Alaska.

Some credentials don't run through these degrees at all. For Alaska, see substance abuse counselor requirements, peer specialist certification, PMHNP practice authority and behavior analyst licensure.

Verify before you apply

Program names and accreditation statuses come from the CACREP and CSWE directories (as of September 27, 2026) and APA's 2025 list of accredited programs. Accreditation can change, so verify it with the accreditor (CACREP, CSWE, APA) and check admission details and costs with the school.
