CACREP Accreditation
The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) has accredited the MA programs in School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In January 2017, after being reviewed on all 241 2009 Standards, CACREP accredited the School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs for eight years through March 31, 2025. CACREP accredited the Fairfield counseling programs in 1986, the first programs in Connecticut to receive this accreditation.
An extension of accredited status was granted for the specialty areas in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling to allow the counselor education department’s self-study to address the CACREP 2024 Standards. The new expiration date is March 31, 2026.
