Programs in the Counseling Department have been fully accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The School Counseling Program, which was part of the most recent review by CACREP, has been approved by the Tennessee State Department of Education.
C-N strongly recommends that prospective and currently enrolled students who plan to seek licensure or certification outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency for information and guidance before enrolling in a program which leads to licensure. It is imperative that students be cognizant of licensing requirements when they relocate to a state outside of Tennessee. Students should discuss licensing requirements with their adviser before enrolling in a program that leads to licensure, or when relocating to a state outside of Tennessee.
