2 0 0 8 Accreditation with Canadian Counselling Association We are currently making revisions to the Master’s in Counselling program requirements in order to comply with the training standards of the Canadian Counselling Association. What does this mean for your program? A minimum of two years (six terms) will be required to complete both the M.Ed. and M.A. degree if the revised program is passed by Senate. Accepted applicants for the September 2008 program will be required to complete the newly revised program if passed by Senate. Accreditation of the graduate program in Counselling Psychology is a goal the counselling faculty has been moving toward for the past three years. To facilitate attainment of this goal, we have made revisions to the course requirements of the graduate program. Please note: requirements for admission will not change; however, graduate counselling program requirements will. Ongoing changes to the program will be posted on this site. Accreditation has two fundamental purposes: (a) to assure the quality of the program, and (b) to assist in the improvement of the program. Accreditation, which applies to institutions or programs, is to be distinguished from certification and licensure which apply to individuals. For students, accreditation provides an assurance that the educational activities of an accredited program have been found to be of a high standard, and therefore meet the needs of students. Transparency is an vital element of accredited programs as all the requirements and policies must be detailed in their program handbook in order for students to be informed prior to, and after they are enrolled. At the program level, the program is strengthened through self-evaluation by the review and counsel provided through the accrediting body.
