Program History

In January 2016, the Board approved the dual accreditation (CMHC/CLRC) through the CACREP/CORE conversion process. Prior to that date, UNC Chapel Hill had a Rehabilitation Counseling program accredited by CORE since 1979. The dually-accredited Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling specialization was a limited-time option offered by CACREP. The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has transitioned that specialty area to two different Specialty areas - Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. Both of these are CACREP-accredited.
