Accreditation & State Reciprocity

ACCREDITATION

In the United States, accreditation is a key measure used to identify institutions and programs that provide a high-quality education.

The University of New England is regionally accredited by the New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE). Regional accreditation bodies tend to be more established, more prestigious, and their standards are typically more stringent than national accreditation bodies.

STATE RECIPROCITY

We encourage you to research the state certification requirements for the state in which you intend to teach. You can use our interactive map to do so:

To assist you in identifying principal licensure or certification requirements for your state, please contact an enrollment counselor at education@une.edu.

" In a dynamic and changing world, online classes and programs are the ticket to succeeding in all aspects of life.

Graduate Courses

At UNE, the majority of our online graduate education courses are available for you to take individually without needing to apply to complete a full degree. Individual courses may make sense for you if you are looking to:

? Fulfill certification or re-certification requirements ? Close a gap in your portfolio ? Use continuing education credits, and need a course or two

to turn them into a certificate or something meaningful ? Acquire additional training for a new teaching role, or need

additional training that is not in your area of expertise ? Try an online graduate course

You can find a full list of our graduate courses options here: online.une.edu/education/degrees/graduate-course-offerings

To complete the abbreviated application process and register for one of our courses as a non-degree-seeking student, contact our enrollment team at education@une.edu.
