Accreditation of Programs and Certification in the Various States

The Teacher Education Program at Dana College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), 2010 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036; phone 202.466.7496; and the Nebraska State Department of Education. This accreditation covers the institution's initial teacher preparation program. While this accreditation status assures Dana College graduates of teaching certificate reciprocity with many states, it is the student's responsibility to ascertain the certification requirements of those states in which they have an interest in teaching. The teacher education staff stands ready to assist them in acquiring this information.
