Action:
Requirement for CACREP accreditation for educational programs
Action 4259
[Withdrawn 12/5/2019]
General Information
| Action Summary |
In response to a petition for rulemaking, the Board is publishing a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action to add a requirement for all counseling programs leading to a license as a professional counselor to be clinically-focused and accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) or an approved affiliate, such as the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE). This would be a phased-in requirement, allowing seven years from the effective date for students to complete their education in a non-CACREP program and for programs to achieve accreditation standards. |
