• The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), has granted accreditation to the following programs in the Professional Counseling Program in the College of Education at Harding University: Professional School Counseling (M.S.) and Clinical Mental Health Counseling (M.S.)
• Opportunity for EdS in Counseling
• Practical tools/techniques for developing professional counseling skills
• Faculty members with Christian values and real-world experiences
• Current and up-to-date strategies and content
• Training in a career choice that makes a difference through promoting mental and emotional well-being
• Located in Northwest AR, Searcy, AR or Memphis, TN, with half of the program also available on the North Little Rock site gives you options for graduate school

• CACREP accreditation signals that a program’s content and quality have been evaluated and meet strict, consistent standards set by the profession. Choosing a CACREP-accredited program also means the curriculum contains the academic knowledge necessary for professional licensure in many states.
• CACREP-accredited programs assure students—and the public they will one day serve—that a program’s curriculum includes appropriate counseling coursework and skill development. It also ensures that the program is stable, both professionally and financially.
• Benefits of graduating from a CACREP-accredited counseling program include:
  • Access to more employment opportunities.
  • An advantage when applying to doctoral degree programs.
  • A streamlined state counseling licensing application process.
  • The skills and credibility to maximize your impact on the counseling profession.
  • The opportunity to sit for the National Counselor Examination (NCE) exam prior to graduation.
