NCATE grants education dep't. renewal of full accreditation The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) has granted Loyola University's Department of Education a renewal of full accreditation at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Loyola is the only school in the greater New Orleans area to be accredited by the NCATE. The council granted Loyola its first sccreditation in 1954, the year the council was initiated. Full accreditation was given to the programs for elementary and secondary teachers at the baccalaureate level and graduate programs for elementary and secondary school principals. On the master's degree level, full accreditation was granted to the fields of instructional supervisors and guidance counselors. NCATE is the only national accrediting agency for the field of teacher education recognized by the National Commission on Accrediting. Council director Rolf W. Larson commended Loyola and said accreditation status is good for a ten-year period, terminating Sept. 1, 1976. In a letter to the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, Larson said, "In achieving this accreditation, the council recognizes the progress which the institution has made and wishes to commend you and your staff for the work which you are doing." Loyola's education department is also accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Louisiana State Board of Education.The Rev. Joseph B. Tremonti, C.S.V., is chairman of the department, which currently has an enrollment of more than 400 students. In an interview, Father Tremonti said NCATE was the "highest accreditation" possible for an education department to receive. Father Tremonti said this accreditation "lends prestige to the institution, and therefore to all education students. The NCATE is an organization that requires its member schools to maintain a high standard of scholarship and instruction." Another important benefit of NCATE accreditation. Father Tremonti said, is that it grants "reciprocal privileges of certification" to Loyola students because the school is only one of seven institutions in all of Louisiana claiming this honor. More states recognize graduate students from NCATE member schools than from any others, Father Tremonti said. Father Tremonti is "happy" to have NCATE accreditation because "it signifies a continuance of high standards at Loyola." Father Tremonti said, "We intend to improve the quality of our faculty, courses and library holdings in order to maintain high standards at Loyola."Senior Project hopes to train future alumni Eleven students have been selected to participate in the 1967-68 Senior Project, Donald K.
