The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) currently accredits 632 colleges of education with nearly 100 more seeking NCATE accreditation. These institutions produce two-thirds of the nation’s new teacher, school specialists, and administrator graduates. These institutions also use NCATE standards to help ensure quality in all programs that prepare professionals to work in schools from preschool to higher education.

On November 17, 2003, following a meticulous review process, the Virginia Tech School of Education once again received a thumbs-up from NCATE. Currently, programs in the School of Education are preparing for the next NCATE accreditation visit scheduled to be held in the spring of 2011.
