Accreditation
“Accreditation” is a means of reviewing the quality of higher education institutions and programs. In the United States, accreditation is a major way that students, families, government officials, and the press know that an institution or program provides a quality education. Furthermore, accreditation is quality assurance through external peer review to ensure a provider meets the standards set by its academic community, professionals, and stakeholders.
The Hunter College School of Education and its initial and advanced level teacher preparation programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) through December 31, 2030.
