The completers’ graduation rate is defined as the initial and advanced program completer's ability to successfully complete their degree requirements for a Bachelor degree or Master degree. The EPP monitors the persistence and completion of teacher candidates that have been admitted into a Teacher Education licensure program(s). To ensure that teacher candidates are persisting through and completing their licensure programs, the EPP tracks the number of teacher candidates that are active within the program and completed the program, and if they were employed after the completion of the program. Candidates completing an approved teacher certification program are eligible to apply for the Louisiana Level I professional teaching certificate.
As indicated in the ETS Title 2 Report, the following are the graduation rates for the advanced program completers.
