Two graduate counseling programs earn re-accreditation
UNC Pembroke has been granted extension of accreditation of two of its graduate counseling programs. The Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Professional School Counseling programs received accreditation from the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Both programs received an eight-year extension through March 2029. Both programs offer a hybrid approach to course delivery which combines face-to-face classroom instruction with online activities.
