West Virginia Wesleyan College achieved a pass rate of 100 percent for its 49 program completers in teacher education from September 1, 2000 through August 31, 2001. A program completer is a graduate of the institution who has completed a West Virginia Board of Education approved professional preparation program and qualifies for a Provisional Professional Certificate in West Virginia. This institution verifies that the completer has met all the institutional degree requirements and has a minimum of 2.5 overall academic average on a 4.0 grading scale.

Although there were 49 program completers, Federal Title II guidelines require that West Virginia Wesleyan College report content specializations with ten or more completers in any of the currently approved teacher education programs at this institution. Program completers who complete more that one content specialization are treated as two program completers, thus explaining why program completers total more than the number of completers.

There were program completers in the following content specializations: Art K-12, Biology 9-12, Business Education 9-12, English 5-12, General Science 5-12, Health, K-12, Mathematics 5-12, Music K-12, Physical Education K-12, Physics 9-12, Social Studies 5-9, Social Studies 5-12, and Specific Learning Disabilities K-12.

Wesleyan places teacher education candidates in field experiences and student teaching in a total of 17 public schools. Of these public schools, 58 percent qualify for Title I services and have an additional 16 percent of students receiving special education services. Prior to student teaching, students complete 95 clock hours of field placements related to their programs of study.

Based on this data, West Virginia Wesleyan College has a First Quartile ranking for its teacher preparation programs as defined in the West Virginia Title II Plan submitted to the United States Office of Education and approved by the West Virginia Board of Education. In doing this, the College has met the federal requirements for Title II reporting.
