News from CACREP
We have just received news from CACREP that the MACC programs accreditation has been extended until March 2015. Just so you are not confused. We have been accredited since 2007. CACREP only makes two decisions regarding accreditation. You are either accredited or not accredited. However, many universities, like ours, needed to satisfy some standards (in our case two) to bring us into full compliance. We were given until March of 2011 to do this. The letter we have now received from CACREP, which came in January, says we meet all the standards and so our accreditation continues. Accreditation is for an 8 year period, so in our case, 2007-2015. In the coming months, and certainly by next academic year, the Counseling Department will begin working on the required self-study to CACREP that will be due in 2014. With the self-study and a visit from the CACREP visiting team in 2014, we hope to move the counseling program to re-accreditation for the next 8-year period of 2015-2023. Accreditation is not a one time thing but an ongoing process. The counseling department is constantly modifying itself to meet new standards and to better prepare counselors for the future.
