The Continuous Improvement Commission of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) at its April 26-30, 2015 meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, decided to continue the NCATE accreditation of the College of Education at Towson University at the initial teacher preparation and advanced preparation levels. This accreditation decision indicates that the unit and its programs meet rigorous standards set forth by the professional education community. NCATE is recognized by the U. S. Department of Education as a specialized accrediting body for schools, colleges, and departments of education. NCATE and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) have consolidated and are now known as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). Towson University was last reaccredited in 2015, and the next accreditation visit using the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards is scheduled for Fall 2021.
