Accredited master’s programs in educational leadership must meet the highest standards for faculty qualifications, teaching methods, curriculum and graduation rates. Without accreditation, there is no guarantee for students that a degree program meets those academic and professional standards.

A-State’s MSE in Educational Leadership is both nationally accredited through CAEP and state-approved for educator licensure programs in Arkansas. CAEP accreditation is the gold standard in educator preparation, highlighting program excellence. The university is also regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
