AAQEP Annual Report
Performance on Certification Exams
We are proud of our candidates’ certification exam scores. The following data table is the official Title II reporting data for the 2022 Title II Report, which has been verified and validated by the institution and New York State Department of Education. The 2023 Title II Report will be released in the Spring of 2024, and this table will be updated.
This table shows summary pass rates for the institution for the last three Title II reporting years (i.e., AY2018, AY2019, and AY2020). N is the number of unique students who took any exam, with N Pass representing the number of students who passed an exam, and the overall pass rate for the academic year.
