About Kansas Behavioral Health Schools

18 schools in Kansas run 12 CACREP counseling programs, 1 marriage, couple and family counseling program, 21 CSWE social work programs and 5 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 13 cities. 5 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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