The College of Education Educator Preparation Programs are rated "Accredited"

rate for students who took ExCET exams for initial certification (219
students) is 89%. When compared statewide, the University ranks in the
fourth quartile. Additional information is available upon request from
the Teacher Certification Office. |

Each instructional block is strongly field-based, requiring university
