The Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Alternative Licensure Programs, Elementary Education, Secondary Education and Special Education are approved b New Mexico Public Education Department’s Professional Practices and Standards Committee (PPSC; most recent approval-June 2020) and nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE- 2016). The programs are eligible for review by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) in 2023. The new accrediting agency for educator licensure programs is the result of the consolidation of NCATE and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC).  The 2013 CAEP Initial-Level Standards include Standard 1: Content and Pedagogical Knowledge, Standard 2: Clinical Partnerships and Practice, Standard 3: Candidate Quality, Recruitment, and Selectivity, Standard 4: Program Impact, and Standard 5: Provider Quality, Continuous Improvement, and Capacity.

The Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education program was added to NNMC’s education program offerings after the last NCATE 2016 accreditation visit. The new program is currently approved by the PPSC (most recent approval- June 2020).
