To obtain certification, candidates must successfully pass the Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) in School Counseling, Principalship, and\/or Superintendent that is administered nationwide at any Pearson Vue Testing Center.&nbsp;Colorado&nbsp;requires that their&nbsp;students who&nbsp;obtain a degree outside of their&nbsp;state to&nbsp;be from a CACREP program.&nbsp;<strong>Southeastern is not CACREP accredited; therefore, we cannot offer the School Counseling program.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information is based on our research verification and current understanding of reciprocity for students who&nbsp;reside&nbsp;in&nbsp;Colorado.
