Online Doctoral Programs in Counseling — Schools Based in California

These are online programs offered by schools based in California. That does not mean only California residents can enroll, and it does not mean every California resident can: schools publish their own state authorization and licensure disclosures, shown on each program page where available.

Schedule & length

Study intensity

Online class schedule

Only where the school states it.

Published length

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Cost, admissions & funding

Tuition

Estimated total = published per-credit rate × required credits (or a published program total), using the rate for all students or nonresidents. Fees excluded. Programs without comparable data never match. How it works

GRE policy

Missing GRE information never counts as “not required”.

Funding

Competitive assistantships do not make a program funded.

Published enrollment restrictions

Programs whose school publishes state authorization or residency restrictions for online students.

Deadline

Order

Reset

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, unpublished attendance rules are not “no campus visits”, and an unmatched program is not CACREP-accredited.
