The University of Louisiana at Monroe is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and its teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
Therefore, candidates that complete a teacher education program at 四色AV may still be eligible for initial licensure in states that do not have an interstate agreement with Louisiana.
