Source Material:  The PEDS (Professional Education Data System) Report is a requirement to attain accreditation by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Since the information and data required for this report are so diverse and widespread that multiple sources across the university are utilized in the collection of the required elements. Bowling Green State University administrative units that are utilized for information and/or data are as follows:

• EDHD Dean’s Office
• EDHD School Directors and Program Coordinators
• Registration and Records Office
• Graduate college
• Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Music, and Technology

Much of the data included in the report is extracted from the University student records system which is provided to EDHD by the Institutional Research Office.

EDHD Report Content: The PEDS Report is divided into sections, each section dealing with different information set. They are follows:

Aspects of the general structure of the institution and the professional education unit are reported in this section (degree levels, program levels, institution type, academic calendar system and accreditation information).
