Meet Caterina ("Cat") Veneziano E’24, GE’24, a first-generation college student and special education and adoption advocate. She is pursuing a B.S.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and an M.S.Ed. in Special Education – Cognitive, Behavior, Physical/Health Disabilities through the School of Education’s Five-Year Early Start Program.
Frank Cortazzo was late for school. It was close to 6 p.m., and he dashed toward Canevin Hall to attend his first class in decades. He was almost there and feeling anxious when the Chapel of the Holy Spirit bells started ringing, easing his nerves. Those bells are a familiar sound for Cortazzo – he’s heard them during every shift of his nearly four-decade career with Duquesne University Public Safety. He’s now a sergeant and runs the daylight shift.
Earn your degree from one of our highly nationally-accredited programs. We are proud of our numerous undergraduate and graduate programs that have earned national accreditation from the following select accrediting bodies.
Accreditation by the APA tells prospective students, other institutions of higher learning, and the public that our programs have met the standards that verify our ability to prepare graduates to provide outstanding, evidence-based clinical service to ensure the well-being of the public and promote best practices in education. Questions related to accreditation of the program should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation: Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation American Psychological Association; 750 1st Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002; Phone: (202) 336-5979
CACREP accreditation indicates that the program has a rigorous curriculum and provides comprehensive fieldwork supervision. Graduates of CACREP programs have greater portability for licensure and certification.
CAEP Accreditation is a select honor to nationally recognize program quality for educator preparation. This represents that our students are well equipped to meet the needs of K-12 students as well as their communities and schools. We are one of five institutions in Pennsylvania to receive this accreditation.
