The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) recently granted an initial seven-year accreditation, the longest possible.
The Council concluded that Madonna’s undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education degree programmes met all five standards for accreditation and did not need improvement in any area.
“This is a wonderful testament to the dedication and hard work of the faculty and staff in our College of Education,” said Madonna University President Michael Grandillo.
“The dean, professors and staff, in the College, all share a true passion for education and they pass that on to their students as they prepare them to teach the next generation of learners,” he added.
Madonna’s teacher education programme has earned exemplary status from the Michigan Department of Education since the inception of state rankings.

Qualified students can earn a BSN in 16 months with a combination of online coursework, on-site lab experience and clinical placements through St. John Providence, the ABSN programme’s academic practice partner.
The ABSN programme offers three start dates each year, Fall, Winter, and Summer. The University is accepting applications for the Fall 2018 semester.
