Accreditation
The 91社区 offers programs that lead to educator licensure in 20 areas. The cluster of all educator licensure programs is referred to as the Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) and is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation.听
The Dean of the Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education has primary responsibility for the EPP and oversees functions that cut across 10 departments and two colleges, with the Teacher Education Department as the hub.
CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation) requires four accountability measures which are used to provide information on program outcome and impact. Below are the four reporting measures with data that provide supporting evidence for each measure.
By state law, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) collects and report information from Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) annually. This information must be reported using a matrix which is to be posted to the IDOE website. While this matrix is not intended to rank or "grade" programs, it provides an opportunity for the public to interpret or compare program quality based on a variety of data points.听
The 91社区 offers 11 initial educator licensure programs and 3 advanced educator licensure programs. All programs are approved by the Indiana Department of Education. Click on the licensure area to learn more about individual program accreditations/recognitions and enrollment and completion data.

Initial Impact on P-12 Learning & Development (CAEP R4.1)
The Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) at the 91社区 is committed to ensuring that program completers effectively contribute to P-12 student learning and demonstrate the professional competencies necessary for success. This report provides evidence aligned with CAEP Standard 4: Program Impact, using multiple measures to assess the effectiveness of program completers in the classroom. The analysis integrates survey data, formal evaluations, student performance data, and case study findings to evaluate the extent to which completers:
- Contribute to P-12 student learning growth (CAEP 4.1).
- Effectively apply professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions (CAEP 4.2).
- Are well-prepared for professional responsibilities (CAEP 4.3).
- Are valued by employers (CAEP 4.4).
Survey Results: Employer and Completer Perceptions

Data on the number of completers who are hired in education positions for which they have been prepared is obtained by informal self-reporting. 91社区 distributes end of program surveys to attempt to collect information for those who have been offered a position. Beginning 2022-2023, surveys are sent to alumni to attempt to collect current employment data, which has improved the collection process. The percentages listed are only those who self-report or are found via informal methods (ex. School board notes, faculty communication, etc.) and therefore it is assumed the reported data will appear lower than reality. Note: Double majors are reported in each program area they represent.
