BU's specialized accreditation

Belhaven University’s School of Education has earned accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, raising the program’s esteem to prospective teachers. 

The CAEP Board of Directors approved the recognition at their semi-annual meeting in October. It marks the first time BU's School of Education has earned national recognition from a specialized accreditation association.

CAEP was fully implemented in 2016.

In 2020, the Mississippi Department of Education partnered with CAEP to evaluate and approve the state’s educator-preparation programs. 

The Belhaven School of Education offers a bachelor’s degree in teacher education, a Master of Arts in teaching, a master’s degree in education, an education specialist degree, and a Doctor of Education in educational leadership. 

The process took about five years to complete. Belhaven received a recommendation for full accreditation for all its teacher an administration preparation programs with no areas of improvement required.
