| The certification programs of the Department
of Education are required to meet the standards set by
the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and
the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE). In addition, there is a continuing
analysis of all programs of the Department to determine
whether modifications are necessary to improve their quality
and efficiency. When a standard is changed, a requirement
is added, or a modification is made after the publication
of the catalog, a change in one, or all of our programs,
may be necessary even though it does not appear in the
catalog. Changes of this type will be made to the program
descriptions on the web site of the Department of Education
as soon as possible. Please check our web site periodically
for program changes or see an adviser. |
