The CACREP requirements consist of 6-7 sections that meet their standards, but within those sections, they do not include multicultural or social justice factors. Being in a program that is not CACREP accredited and taking these two courses and the topics being implemented throughout every course, I believe our program goes above and beyond the neccesary "standard" that CACREP requires. We should be thinking about future counselors and how their education will impact future clients. This program has much credibility without the need for it to be CACREP accredited, proving how these standards should not be required at all. I believe this "standard" should not define our ability to be quality counselors and our program is a great example of that. My hope is that the right decision is made regarding this topic.
