Overview

With changing demography, emerging disabling conditions, the Covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, returning veterans, and enhanced longevity due to medical advances, the prevalence of disabilities is increasing geometrically.

In 2022, the number of individuals with disabilities will be about 61 million in the USA. Unfortunately, there is an acute shortage of qualified clinical rehabilitation and mental health counselors of culturally diverse backgrounds to serve this population.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Rehabilitation Services was previously accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE). Since the merger of the CORE with CACREP, an accrediting body that only accredits graduate programs, the department is currently submitting a Self -Study Document to the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
