Successful accreditation visits result in the accreditation of the EPP for seven years. In the event that an EPP is not successful in meeting all five CAEP standards, the EPP could be assigned areas for improvement or stipulations which could result in an additional review two years following the site visit. The EPP in the Zucker Family School of Education (ZFSOE) completed an onsite CAEP accreditation review in the Spring of 2021. As a result, the ZFSOE was rewarded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/CAEP-Accreditation-Action-Report-2021.pdf\">accreditation<\/a> for a term of seven years without any areas of improvement, nor stipulations.
