Since the establishment of the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) in 1972, this regulatory organization has implemented a unique and highly innovative accreditation process that has had a profound effect on the standardization of curricula across this country and internationally. For the past 36 years, these standards have provided specific guidelines and expectations for the pre-service preparation of rehabilitation counselors. CORE standards have also acted as an applied influence on personnel preparation of related disciplines, at all levels of the rehabilitation educational continuum. The purpose of this article is to describe and discuss the direct and applied application of CORE standards across the educational continuum, including undergraduate studies in rehabilitation services, master's degree programs in rehabilitation counseling, doctoral programs in rehabilitation counselor education and rehabilitation psychology, and professional development and continuing educational programs.
