NAEYC Accredited Higher Education Programs

NAEYC also maintains a more detailed directory of all accredited programs and programs in candidacy for an accreditation decision. This directory includes each program's accreditation status, current term of accreditation, rationale for current accreditation status, and date of initial accreditation. Programs listed as accredited with conditions or probation have up to two years to satisfactorily address identified concerns in order to continue accreditation for the remainder of a full seven-year term. Please note: Programs with terms appearing to have expired are currently in the process of review by the Commission. Upon review, program records will be updated to reflect new terms or removed from the directory upon program notification of pending positive or adverse decisions. For decision memos of all Commission actions by semester, please click here.
