Longwood’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) was reaffirmed recently as fully accredited by the International Accreditation of Counseling Services (IACS), the premier leader in setting the benchmark for the full range of professional counseling services on college and university campuses worldwide. Through a comprehensive process, IACS confirms the highest standards are being met, validates professional excellence and distinguishes standout counseling centers with its accreditation seal of approval.
CAPS has maintained full accreditation continuously since 2006. Longwood is one of approximately 200 higher education institutions accredited by IACS and one of eight such institutions in Virginia. The purpose of IACS accreditation is to encourage and aid university counseling services internationally to meet best practices and standards, inform the public about services that are competent and reliable, and mitigate risk and accountability.
