Accreditation

Both the Clinical Mental Health and the School Counseling concentrations are fully accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The School Counseling concentration is approved by the state of Connecticut, meeting all requirements for graduates to obtain an initial educator certification. New York State requires additional courses and testing but accepts the 60-credit M.S. degree and fieldwork hours towards certification. The Clinical Mental Health Counseling concentration satisfies all education requirements of Connecticut and New York State for graduates to become Licensed Professional Counselors (in CT) and Licensed Mental Health Counselors (in NYS).
