Following the Oct. 14, 2008, State Board of Education meeting, the Andrews University Teacher Preparation Program has been declared an exemplary organization. The program received a perfect score of 70 out of 70 based on an examination given by the Michigan Department of Education. The Andrews University Teacher Preparation Program was the only institution out of 32 to receive a perfect score and it was the highest score in the state for the 2006–07 academic year. Andrews University's program took top honors over other higher-profile institutions, including the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
