Elevating Standards, Empowering Success

Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE)
‍Approval to operate as a degree-granting College in California was obtained from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) on September 28, 2022. Approval to operate means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Education Code.

The Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (Bureau) is a state regulatory agency within the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), established in January 1998. The Bureau is responsible for approving and regulating private postsecondary and vocational institutes of education in California. The Bureau was established to foster and improve the educational programs and services of these institutions while protecting the citizens of the state from fraudulent or substandard operations (California Education Code - 94705). In addition, the Bureau mediates complaints between students and institutions and investigates schools as necessary. For more information regarding BPPE, its website can be reached at www.bppe.ca.gov.

School Performance Fact Sheet (SPFS)
All postsecondary educational institutions that received an approval to operate by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) are required to complete a School Performance Fact Sheet (SPFS) annually for each educational program to provide prospective students with a reasonable perspective on the performance of the institution in graduating students and providing an education that leads to licensure and/or employment. EDvance College’s annual School Performance Fact Sheets for the BA in Early Childhood Education are listed below.
