About Mississippi Behavioral Health Schools

20 schools in Mississippi run 15 CACREP counseling programs, 1 marriage, couple and family counseling program, 20 CSWE social work programs and 7 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 17 cities. 6 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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