Since 1981, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) has operated as the primary accreditation body for the counseling profession. In this role it has developed and revised its standards and processes for approval. During this time, many institutions with counselor education programs have applied to, and been reviewed and accredited by CACREP. This article examines some of the literature and research that has been published since the creation of CACREP and suggests future research that may help additional counselor education programs to consider the accreditation process.

This article provides a historical context for the profession's struggles with these issues, 1 state's experience, TRICARE's impact, and the role CACREP standards can play in their resolution.

“…CACREP accreditation has proven beneficial to programs that have sought it (Haight, 1992) and, according to Vacc (1 992), both CACREP-accredited and non-CACREPaccredited programs value CACREP accreditation. One study found that 79% of the CACREP-accredited programs surveyed believed that the investment of time, money, and energy in seeking accreditation was worthwhile (Cecil & Comas, 1986).…”
