School Health Program- TEAC Accreditation

The School Health Teacher Preparation Program is presently accredited by the National Council for Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCATE). However the College of Education and Human Services is currently preparing for teacher preparation accreditation through the Teacher Education Accreditation Council TEAC in November, 2009.

The Health Education curriculum is based on the competencies of the Certified Health Educator Specialist (CHES) certification as established by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing.
