CACREP Requirement
 

I just recently completed a master's program in the Richmond area that has CACREP accreditation. I don't see much of an academic advantage because even with my current certification as a National Certified Counselor and VA OMHP requirements, I am still finding it difficult to obtain employment now. I can see some benefit for CACREP into the licensure process, so it may be helpful if other psychology and counseling programs tailor their curriculum to match standards across the board.
