Teacher Education programs at Slippery Rock University are fully
accredited by the State of Pennsylvania through the Pennsylvania Department of Education
. Being an accredited institution recognizes SRU as an educational
institution that meets or exceeds state standards. This accreditation
involves a regular process of alignment with state teacher education
program standards and compliance with all aspects of appropriate
Pennsylvania state law and code. Our continuing accreditation, a
result of our most recent review during the Spring 2006 semester,
attests to the commitment and quality of the SRU teacher preparation
program.
In addition to state accreditation, Teacher Education programs at
Slippery Rock University are nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of

rigorous standards for preparation programs, holds accredited
institutions accountable for meeting these standards, and requires
institutions to demonstrate that teacher candidates know their subject
matter and how to teach it effectively to all students.
