About Michigan Behavioral Health Schools

32 schools in Michigan run 23 CACREP counseling programs, 1 marriage, couple and family counseling program, 43 CSWE social work programs and 13 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 22 cities. 10 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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