Education

This curriculum consists of general and basic professional education for the first two years of the four-year degree. It will be noted that courses recommended for the sophomore year differ from the elementary and secondary education majors.

Individuals who desire to be admitted to a professional teacher education program in a Mississippi university must pass the PRAXIS I test with required scores or have made, prior to entering college, a 21 composite on the ACT with no sub score less than 18. Typically, this would apply to students expecting to enter a full sequence of professional education courses in their junior year.
