The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP) is a new accrediting agency (September of 1981). The purpose of this study was to survey the accredited programs of CACREP. Department heads from these programs were asked to respond to a number of questions concerning the characteristics of their faculty, students, program, and admission criteria. The majority of departments reported that the accreditation procedure had a significant positive impact on their program. Descriptive data and general comments from the accredited departments are reported.
