The National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) is the major authorized accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for schools, colleges, and departments of education that provide professional preparation for teachers.
Buffalo State College is the only SUNY institution that has received continuous accreditation by NCATE since the organization conducted its first review of institutions in 1954. We continue to review and revise our programs to assure that they meet the high standards of our specialty professional organizations, the New York State Education Department and NCATE.
The Buffalo State College Teacher Education Unit completed a recent Board of Examiner's onsite continuing accreditation visit on April 12-16, 2008. Learn MORE.
This effort is coordinated by the Associate Vice President for Teacher Education's office including:
Ronald S. Rochon, Dean, School of Education and Associate Vice President for Teacher Education
Lori V. Quigley, Associate Dean, School of Education
Mary M. Todd, Accreditation Coordinator
