Standards: Preconditions

Preconditions determine a sponsor's eligibility to apply to the Commission for approval of one or more educator preparation programs. Examples of preconditions include standards in areas such as accreditation and academic credit granted; responsibility and authority for the program; demonstration of need for the program; and limitation on program length, among others. Sponsors who want to offer accredited programs must provide a response to each precondition and include appropriate supporting evidence and/or documentation. Program sponsors must meet the applicable preconditions before the program application is reviewed against the Commission-adopted common standards and applicable program standards.
