Pass Rates for Chemistry Graduates
The Bachelor of Science Chemistry program graduates have improved their performance on the Educational
Testing Service (ETS) Major Field Test (MFT), formerly the ETS Major Field Achievement Test (MFAT), in the
recent past; however, the changes highlight the variability in small cohorts (n<20) from year to year. The goal
is to have the average score of the majors be at or near the 50th percentile compared to national results.

Pass Rates for Elementary Education Graduates
The Bachelor of Science Elementary Education program graduates have historically enjoyed a near 100%
passage rate on the Praxis II, and the goal is a 100% passage rate. However, the North Carolina State
Legislature and the North Carolina State Board of Education have approved a rigorous licensure requirement
process for all professional education candidates. Effective July 1, 2014, all professional education candidates
must pass identified licensure exams. The identified licensure exams for Secondary, Middle Grades, and K-12
licensure candidates are the Praxis II exams. Effective October 1, 2014, Elementary Education or Special
Education completers or lateral entry teachers must pass the Foundations of Reading and General Curriculum
exams prior to employment to meet the federal requirement of “highly qualified.” [Source: NCDPI and School
of Education]. The School of Education is currently revisiting and revising its current pass rate goal in
response to these extensive licensure requirements. [Source: School of Education]
