About the CACREP Directory
NOTICE TO EMPLOYERS
Because CACREP programs are converting from Community Counseling and Mental Health Counseling to Clinical Mental Health Counseling, the start date in the Directory may not represent when the program first received CACREP accreditation. Please click on the program "Details" button and read the history entry at the bottom of the screen.
Please note that not all programs in a department may be accredited.
If your search does not return any programs, try broadening your search criteria.
All CACREP doctoral programs are accredited under the program title COUNSELOR EDUCATION AND SUPERVISION. Within that, many specialty areas are possible, depending on the program. Please contact the program directly to find out what is offered.
Accreditation and Licensure
Counselor licensure and certification regulations vary widely by state. Prospective students should check with the appropriate state credentialing body to identify specific requirements. Graduation from a CACREP accredited program does not guarantee eligibility for licensure or certification in all states; however, graduates of CACREP accredited programs generally meet most states’ educational eligibility requirements for seeking a practice credential. In addition, CACREP graduates are immediately eligible to obtain national certification from the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) upon passing the National Counselor Examination.
