Accreditation
The 91ÉçÇø 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.Ìý
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.Ìý
The 91ÉçÇø 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.

Data on the number of completers who are hired in education positions for which they have been prepared is obtained by informal self-reporting. 91ÉçÇø 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.

The 91ÉçÇø compiles the following data relative to completer ability to be hired.
IC 20-28-3-1 and IC 20-28-11.5-9 require the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to collect 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. ()Ìý
