What is CACREP?

CACREP stands for the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. It is a specialized accrediting body that reviews and accredits graduate-level counseling programs in the United States and abroad. Programs accredited by CACREP meet strict educational and professional standards, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for careers in counseling. Having a degree from a CACREP-accredited program can be important for licensure and employment opportunities in the counseling field.
