States report on three types of teacher preparation programs: traditional programs, alternative route programs based at Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), and alternative route programs not based at IHEs. For the purpose of Title II reporting, all traditional programs within an IHE are counted as one program, and all alternative programs within an IHE are counted as one program.
