The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related
Educational Programs (CACREP) has accredited Capella University’s
PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program through March
31, 2020. Capella University
(http://www.capella.edu) is a regionally
accredited online university which offers online degree
programs designed to help working adults advance in their
careers.
Accreditation by CACREP, which is a specialized accrediting body
recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA), provides recognition that the content and quality of an
educational program has been evaluated and meets standards set by
the profession.
“We are committed to providing our learners with the highest
quality counselor education programs, as evidenced by our CACREP
accreditation of a fourth program, the Counselor Education and
Supervision doctoral program,” said Anna Hultquist, PhD, LMFT,
CFLE, Capella's dean for the counseling programs. “Our faculty,
academic leadership, and staff enthusiastically support academic
and clinical excellence as they help our learners achieve their
career goals so they can make a difference in the lives of those
they serve.”
According to CACREP, its accreditation provides students who are
researching an educational institution with the following:
- Recognition that the program has been
evaluated and meets or exceeds national standards.
- Knowledge that graduates have met the
majority of prerequisites for credentialing and are ready for
professional practice.
- Understanding that the focus of the
program will be on the preparation of those who educate
professional counselors.
Capella’s PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program is
now accredited through March 31, 2020. Capella's Mental Health
Counseling program first received CACREP accreditation in 2003, and
was followed by the Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy program
in 2005 and the School Counseling program in 2009. In January of
2013 the eight-year accreditation of all three programs was
granted.
