Congratulations to University of Saint Francis, The University of Tennessee Southern, and University of Saint Joseph on receiving accreditation from CAEP! When an institution or specialized program is accredited, it has demonstrated that it meets standards set by organizations representing the academic community, professionals, and other stakeholders.

Congratulations to Trine University, Tuskegee University, and University of Puerto Rico at Cayey on receiving their accreditation!
