ORANGE, Calif., June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Argosy University is pleased to announce that the College of Education at Argosy University has been granted accreditation based on the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards. NCATE's performance-based accreditation system for teacher preparation is designed to ensure that teacher candidates are prepared to make a difference in P-12 student learning. Accreditation is granted through fall 2021.

Providers accredited based on NCATE standards, as well as those accredited based on the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) Quality Principles, are now served by the single specialized accreditation system for educator preparation in the United States, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). More than 840 educator preparation providers participate in the CAEP accreditation system.

The accreditation covers advanced educator preparation programs across all campuses of Argosy University and its online programs.
