What is accreditation?

A process for assessing and enhancing academic and educational quality through voluntary peer review. NCATE accreditation informs the public that an institution has a professional education unit that has met state, professional and institutional standards of educational quality. The decision is rendered by NCATE when an institution’s professional education unit meets NCATE’s standards and requirements.

As an undergraduate, I spent four years studying meteorology with some of the finest faculty in the country and enjoyed it so much that I decided to stay for my Graduate degree. Plymouth State offered me a great opportunity to explore the field with internships at places like Mount Washington Observatory and the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium, all while providing a more personalized college experience.
