ACCREDITATION SUCCESS FOR COUNSELING PROGRAMS

A recent win for the School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling faculty was earning reaccreditation with CACREP, the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, with no standards unmet by the CACREP site visit team — a very difficult feat to achieve.

Reaccreditation means the college’s master’s programs in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling have been thoroughly vetted by a team of expert reviewers, and found to be upholding the standards set forth by CACREP.

The reaccreditation process was a team effort among faculty members, the Office of Academic Affairs and Unit Excellence, Office of Academic Planning and Accountability, current and former students, internship and practicum site supervisors and employers, adjunct instructors and others.

“Reaccreditation by CACREP is a strong signal of the quality of our programs. Within the Department of Education Counseling and Psychology and the college, we take great pride in approaches to learning and career preparation that are equityminded, community-engaged and student-centered,” says Megan Pifer, department chair and associate professor. “Our faculty are absolute stars when it comes to scholarly excellence, advancement of the counseling professions and ensuring that students receive high-quality learning experiences.”
