About Wisconsin Behavioral Health Schools

23 schools in Wisconsin run 13 CACREP counseling programs, 27 CSWE social work programs and 9 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 15 cities. 8 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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