CACREP Accreditation
The Counseling Program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling
and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This is the gold standard accreditation
for counseling programs that makes the licensure process easier for graduates, qualifies
them for governmental employment (e.g., Veterans Affairs, military), and military
insurance reimbursements (Tricare).
Currently, the two concentrations accredited by CACREP are as follows:
路 Clinical Mental Health Counseling
路 School Counseling
The Addiction concentration currently possesses all the needed standards for CACREP
accreditation, but is not accredited at this time. The Counseling Faculty will seek
accreditation for the Addictions concentration during the next self-study in 2027,
but until then we recommend that students engage in either the clinical mental health
or school counseling concentration in order to graduate with a degree that is accredited
by CACREP.听
The Counseling Faculty hold the accreditation status of the program in the highest
regard. The Counseling Program at ULM is one of the oldest accredited counseling programs
in the state of Louisiana, with the School Counseling concentration achieving accreditation
in 1987 and the Clinical Mental Health Counseling concentration achieving accreditation
in 2012.
The Counseling Program at ULM currently has accreditation until March of 2025. At
that time, the Counseling Faculty will submit an interim report to CACREP and extend
the accreditation status for another four years. To review the Counseling Program鈥檚
accreditation status, please visit the CACREP website .
