Texas Southern University's College of Education Earns Landmark Accreditation
|
Posted By: Reginald Claremont on November 19, 2015 The Texas Southern University College of Education is listed among some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation after receiving an accreditation from the largest accrediting body in the country. The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) has given TSU the national Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accreditation until Spring 2022. TSU College of Education met all of the CAEP standards in undergraduate and graduate programs with no areas for improvement. The accreditation will make it easier for TSU graduates to earn board certification through the new National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. “We met the target level of excellence in Clinical Practice and Field Experiences for undergraduate teaching major,” stated Dr. Lillian Poats, dean of TSU College of Education. “The TSU faculty and staff in the College of Education are honored to have achieved this milestone.” There are currently 623 schools accredited by NCATE including Stanford, Texas A&M and Southern Utah State.
