PraxisExam.org ranks The W No. 4 in state

PraxisExam.org recently ranked Mississippi University for Women No. 4 on its list of Colleges with the Best Praxis Elementary Education Pass Rates in the state.

The Praxis is a set of tests created for aspiring teachers. The tests are required in more than 40 states to meet licensing and certification requirements.

“The School of Education is very proud of this recognition–so much hard work by the faculty and staff to make sure we do everything in our means to help our students succeed,” said Dr. Martin Hatton, dean of The W’s School of Education.

Although the state of Mississippi boasts an 88% Praxis pass rate on the first attempt, The W is one of a few with a higher first attempt pass rate percentage (90).
