AAQEP Annual Report for 2025

University of Rio Grande

End date of current AAQEP Accreditation Term: Fall 2027 

The Teacher Education program at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College (URG/RGCC) was designed to serve the needs of the teacher candidate from the immediate area of Appalachia surrounding the institution. The School of Education holds the motto of “Windows to the Future.” We (Candidates, Faculty and Stakeholders) recognize that for the people of the Rio Grande Community College’s region within Appalachia, teaching jobs are one of the main professional opportunities for employment in our area. A college degree and teaching license offers the local citizenry “Windows to the Future” and they in turn open “Windows” for their future students.
