The College of Education at Mississippi State University
is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE). The conceptual framework for the college is
illustrated by the image to the left. A description of the
model may be viewed by clicking here. The conceptual framework for the College of Education has four levels: (a) Teacher Education Basic Program [undergraduate majors for professionals who plan to become k-12 classroom teachers ], (b) General Basic Program [undergraduate majors for professionals who plan non-teaching careers] (c) Teacher Education Advanced Program [graduate-degree majors for professionals who are classroom teachers] , and (d) General Advanced Program [graduate-degree majors for professionals who plan to work in settings other than k-12 classroom teachers, such as school psychology, educational leadership, educational psychology, school counseling, higher education, etc.] The programs in Special Education include both undergraduate and graduate Teacher Education frameworks and the department teaches a number of undergraduate and graduate courses for teachers-in-training. All other programs in the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education are general (non-teaching) in nature. The departmental undergraduate majors are Educational Psychology and Special Education, whereas graduate majors include Counselor Education, Educational Psychology, and School Psychology. Of the five Counselor Education concentration areas, the program in School Counseling is most relevant to NCATE. Most graduate courses utilize the College of Education's General Advanced Program Conceptual Framework Program Outcomes (CFPOs). |

The department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education has aligned the generic language of the College of Education's General Advanced Program conceptual framework program outcomes with language relevant to the specific nature of the programs in school counseling and school psychology. Many of the course syllabi in the department refer to the aligned language.

The faculty of the School Counseling program has delineated the curriculum using the conceptual model of the College of Education. All three degree programs are included.
