Since 2014, Lucia Tyler has been a Certified Educational Planner. To attain this certification a college counselor must be approved to take the half day certification exam which involves extensive education, experience with students and college visits. To maintain the certification Dr. Tyler must keep up to date by attending conferences, writing articles, and continuing to make college visits.
In 2017 years of interviewing paretns, transfers, counselors, and college staff has come to fruition with the publication of "The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer-From Surviving to Thriving" co-written with Susan Henninger. This book came about because there were no references to help Dr. Tyler as she worked with transfer students in her practice.
