Thanks for the quick response rupert421.
Capella does seem like a viable alternative consideration. I will have to spend more time looking in the two school in comparison.

I have actually encountered information regarding MSW before in my plannings.
Although my asperations goes beyond master-level practice, I have decided during prior considerations that I would prefer to build and maintain academic and professional identity consistent of a psychotherapist/LPC rather than a social worker/LCSW.

I have also encountered two piece of information previously that influenced my decision for a LPC-track Master over a MSW. First one is the potential legislation that would grant therapist to bill medicare just as social workers can and the increased concerns for LCSW to work in private practice in some areas compared to LPCs. (although all of these are online information I have gathered and have yet to confirm with any advisors yet.)

Thanks for your suggestions.
