About Montana Behavioral Health Schools

7 schools in Montana run 7 CACREP counseling programs, 1 marriage, couple and family counseling program, 5 CSWE social work programs and 2 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 6 cities. 2 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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