CAEP Accreditation
The University of Bridgeport’s Graduate School of Education (SOE) received National Recognition for the Initial Licensure Programs from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) in the fall of 2018. The School of Education will undergo their next review cycle in the spring of 2025.
The School of Education will add to the next review cycle a review of the advanced programs. The CAEP Advanced Program Standards were not yet available in 2018 when our initial review was conducted; the Advanced Programs maintain Connecticut State Accreditation through 2025.
All initial and advanced programs within the University of Bridgeport’s School of Education are fully approved by the State of Connecticut’s Board of Education.
CAEP Accountability Measures will be available shortly.
