Appalachian State University's Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program has been accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) since 1983 and is accredited under the 2016 standards in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through 2030. Thus, the requirements for both practicum and internship in clinical mental health counseling meet the standards as set forth by CACREP. The new Clinical Field Experience Manual has been revised as of Fall 2023.
