Contextual Information

The School of Education at IPFW does not use Academic Content Area (Praxis II) exams as a degree requirement (unlike some other colleges/universities in Indiana). Therefore, our passing rate may be lower in certain content areas such as Elementary Education when compared to the statewide pass rate that includes institutions that only report program completers who have passed all Praxis exams.
