UofM College of Education Receives CAEP Accreditation 

Dec. 7, 2022 — The University of Memphis College of Education has been accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). 

The Fall 2022 review by the CAEP Accreditation Council resulted in 55 educator preparation providers receiving accreditation under the rigorous, nationally recognized CAEP Accreditation Standards.

“Earning national accreditation is a significant and major accomplishment,” said College of Education Dean Dr. Kandi Hill-Clarke. “I am so proud of our faculty, staff, students and school partners. This was truly a team, collaborative effort.”

CAEP is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Accreditation is a nongovernmental activity based on peer review that serves the dual functions of assuring quality and promoting improvement. CAEP is a unified accreditation system intent on raising the performance of all institutions focused on educator preparation.

“These institutions meet high standards so that their students receive an education that prepares them to succeed in a diverse range of classrooms after they graduate,” said CAEP President Dr. Christopher A. Koch. “Seeking CAEP Accreditation is a significant commitment on the part of an educator preparation provider.”
