Specialized Accreditations

Teacher Education

The School of Education at the University of Alaska Southeast received its accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) which has since been consolidated into the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation(CAEP).

This accreditation covers initial and advanced teacher preparation programs. However, the accreditation does not include individual education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for professional development, relicensure, or other purposes. CAEP is recognized by the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to accredit programs for the preparation of teachers and other professional school personnel.
