Charter Oak State College is currently pursuing accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children for its Early Childhood Education Programs. As a result, it reports annually on the following program outcomes:
- Number of Students who complete the early childhood program
- The rate at which students complete the program (how long does it take students to complete the program)
- Student retention rates
Since the early childhood majors are still new to Charter Oak State College, data will continue to be assessed as students continue in the program and graduate.
