ASU Quality Assurance System
Alcorn State University School of Education and Psychology has established an ongoing self-evaluation process to ensure the quality of all programs and uphold compliance with the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards. This process enables faculty and administrators to continuously assess and improve educational offerings.

This approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement across all programs, ensuring that Alcorn State University meets the rigorous requirements set forth by CAEP for accreditation.
CAEP Annual Reporting Measures
Alcorn State University utilizes Watermark to ensure compliance with the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards. This robust Course Management System is specifically designed for the School of Education, enabling students to efficiently organize and complete their online assignments. Watermark enhances the educational experience by offering tools that facilitate collaboration among peers and streamline the submission process. Additionally, it provides instructors with the ability to offer timely feedback, helping students stay on track and achieve their academic goals. By integrating Watermark into our quality assurance processes, Alcorn State University is committed to fostering a high standard of educational excellence and continuous improvement in line with CAEP accreditation requirements.
Professional Licensure Disclosure
Programs at Alcorn State University that prepare students for initial licensure in elementary education or special education are designed to meet the licensure standards set by the Mississippi Department of Education. Students seeking licensure in another state are advised to contact the appropriate licensing board in that state to determine specific requirements of guidelines for reciprocity as we are unable to determine if the program meets requirements for licensure in other U.S. states or protectorates. Alcorn State University cannot confirm whether a particular licensure program meets requirements for licensure outside of the state of Mississippi. For a list of the state departments of education that oversee professional teaching licensure, see the U.S. Department of Education website – State Contacts page.
