ONU Teacher Education Preparation Rated Among the Nation's Top Nine Percent

The National Council for Teacher Quality surveyed 1,130 higher education institutions that train teachers, and rated them from 1 to 4 stars.  ONU's secondary education program ranked in the top 9% of the nation.  We are one of three universities in Ohio to receive the 3 star or above rating (OSU and Marietta are the other two).

News outlets such as AP and the PBS News Hour reported that the NCTQ report was a "scathing" examination of the overall quality of teacher education across the nation.  We, however, are among the top programs - those that the report praises as being part of the top 107 programs in the nation.

This is great news for our Social Studies majors, and along with the program recieving National Recognition from the National Council for American Teacher Education, our graduates will be well placed to step directly into that first job.
