Licensure Pass Rates
Licensure pass rate tracking aligns with Teaching Excellence of Vision 2027 Strategic Plan and is a measure of program quality. The licensure pass rate displayed is defined by Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) as the total number of licensure exams passed divided by the total number of licensure exams taken. Sources for the data include the annual institutional Quality Assurance Funding Report and THEC Fact Book. The annual target for each group of examinees' pass rate to meet or exceed the baseline pass rate for 2013-2014.
