Competency builing not business building
 

Most Master's level counseling programs in the US are first rate.  There is no need to add an additional hurdle for students to negotiate. Demanding CACREP accreditation is an insult to some very fine schools and their programs. On first blush, it seems to have a business cache to it, not a clinical one.
