All of our programs in the Counseling and Human Services Department at Syracuse University are fully accredited by the highest accrediting bodies in the counseling profession. The accreditation process involves identification of appropriate preparation curricula by the profession, followed by extensive self-study and evaluation by the aspiring counselor education program. Only then does a visiting team of experts come to the university to verify that the program meets national standards. Finally, the visiting team's report is given to the accrediting board for review and action. Programs may be accredited for seven years, at which time the institution must submit for re-accreditation, following the same process described above.
Accreditation is a powerful tool for self-evaluation and improvement.
The Council remains responsive to the changing needs of society and those persons serving as counselors. The NCE is also used by many states as part of their licensure requirement. The Rehabilitation Counseling Master's Degree Program is Accredited by CORE . CORE's accreditation process promotes program self-improvement rather than outside censure. Our students can take the CRC exam during their final semester.
