Winebrenner Theological Seminary has two Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling (MACC) programs, online and on campus. Both are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the Association for Theological Schools (ATS). The on-campus program is accredited through The Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Winebrenner Theological Seminary is not approved by CACREP for digital delivery, but will seek approval in the 2022-2023 academic year. Application for approval is not a guarantee of acceptance.

I understand that I am applying for the online program not currently accredited by CACREP. All interactions, classes, and meetings with advisors will be held online.
