Council on Occupational Education (COE) |
The Council on Occupational Education (COE), originally founded in 1971 as a regional accrediting agency of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, is the successor to the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions (COEI). In 1995, the Council became a national accrediting agency. This year, the Council celebrates its 35th year of assuring quality and integrity in career and technical education. The Council's accreditation process is conducted on behalf of more than 233,000 students across the nation who pursue careers in a variety of technical fields. The Council's membership represents institution in the public, private, Job Corps, Army, Navy, Department of Defense, and private industry sectors, and totals more than 430 institutions that are both associate degree- and non-degree granting education providers. Recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as an institutional accreditor since its beginning in 1971, the Council's peer-evaluation process has been considered a reliable authority on the quality of education offered by the institutions it accredits. |
