Why CACREP Accreditation Is Important

The Counseling@Northwestern program has received a full eight-year accreditation. This means that the program is fully CACREP accredited.

This is a testament to the program’s training model and the strength of the faculty and staff. This accreditation is a clear endorsement of the quality of Counseling@Northwestern.
