HONOLULU — The community counseling specialization of the master‘s degree program in counseling and guidance at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa‘s College of Education has been granted accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

The CACREP, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, reviewed the program under 2001 standards and granted its accreditation through June 2008.
