1994 CACREP Standards: Will We Make the Grade?

Abstract: This article presents a review of literature related to the process of accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, or CACREP, and identifies several areas of concern common to counseling programs seeking accreditation. A departmental case is then presented that describes how one program at a mid‐size university addressed these concerns and completed a self‐study.

“…The results of this study coincide with the findings of earlier studies that analyzed the benefit of the 1994 CACREP core curriculum standards and that also found benefit in them (Bobby & Kandor, 1992: Cecil & Comas, 1986: Cook et aI., 1986Schmidt, 1999;Smaby & D'Andrea, 1995;Vacc, 1985Vacc, , 1992. The overall CACREP (2001) core curriculum standards that were perceived to be most beneficial were Human Growth and Development and Helping Relationships.…”

“…Yet, although the number of accredited programs is increasing, many programs still remain unaccredited. Although the barriers for seeking accreditation may be varied for different programs, many studies have found that the extended hours of internship [l.e., 600 clock hours) have been identified as an obstacle to accreditation (Bobby & Kandor, 1992;Smaby & D'Andrea, 1995). Ironically, this study indicates that it is exactly the increased course work and internship hours that make the difference in self-efficacy.…”

“…On a larger scale, in order for educational programs to gain accreditation approval, they must meet all standards within eight core areas: the institution, academic unit, faculty and staff, evaluation, foundation, knowledge, supervisor qualifications and support, practicum, and internship (CACREP, 2009). In addition to meeting these standards, CACREP must approve of a written self-study, receive recommendation by the CACREP representative visitation team, and final endorsement by the CACREP board (Smaby & D'Andrea, 1995). Once accreditation has been granted, the institution may reserve their status for eight years (CACREP, n.d.b.…”

“…This comparison, called a performance match, was included to determine if school counselors perceived a good match between what they actually do in their counseling position and what they believe was appropriate for their position. Due to previous literature outlining superior expectations (Bobby & Kandor, 1992;Foster, 2012;Pate, 1990;Smaby & D'Andrea, 1995;Vacc, 1992), it is plausible that CACREP educated individuals may report a higher sense of preparation as well as reporting a more favorable -good match‖ than non-CACREP educated individuals.…”
