An applicant may eliminate one year of the required supervised rehabilitation counseling experience by substituting 30 graduate semester hours beyond the master’s degree if those graduate semester hours are clearly related to rehabilitation counseling and are acceptable to the committee. In no case, however, may the applicant have less than one year of supervised rehabilitation counseling experience after the granting of the master’s degree; and
