Regent is one of only a handful of Christian institutions who offer programs accredited by both the American Psychological Association (APA)* and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP). We are committed to the idea that science and faith do not oppose each other, but in fact, complement one another. Regent-educated clinicians and academicians are solidly grounded in both the science of human behavior and the faith-based principles of restoration and renewal. Ours is a distinctively Christian counseling degree approach, one that not only elevates individual practice, but also the standards of an entire field.
