Accreditation

Notice

The School of Education is the center of teacher education programs at Louisiana State University. Teacher education programs have been nationally accredited since 1954. The School of Education is accredited at the initial- and advanced-licensure level by CAEP, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. National recognition was earned by demonstrating excellence in the areas of content and pedagogy, clinical experiences, selectivity, program impact, and capacity for continuous improvement. The most recent accreditation through the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) was approved in 2020 and continues through spring 2027.

All programs are state-approved in Louisiana. The School of Education works closely with the Louisiana Department of Education to assure compliance with state requirements for educator professional licensure.
