About Illinois Behavioral Health Schools

48 schools in Illinois run 44 CACREP counseling programs, 3 marriage, couple and family counseling programs, 40 CSWE social work programs and 22 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 31 cities. 20 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

Some credentials don't run through these degrees at all. For Illinois, 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.
