DESCRIPTION
- This 18-hour Graduate Certificate Program in Rehabilitation
Counseling at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is aimed at
permitting employed/experienced rehabilitation counselors to sit for
the national certification examination by submitting the body of
academic work required by the certifying organization. That
accomplishment is recognized through granting of this Certificate.
The goals of the certificate program are to 1) permit working
counselors who have a graduate degree, but not in Rehabilitation
Counseling, to qualify for national certification as rehabilitation
counselors; 2) promote values, skills, and knowledge that result in
a genuine commitment to human rights, professionalism, personal
integrity, and ethical practice; 3) advance the basic philosophical
tenets of rehabilitation; 4) provide a high quality, accessible
learning experience for each student which allows program graduates
to gain national certification as rehabilitation counselors (CRC).
