Texas does well in teacher training rankings

[Nelson]

Texas universities took four of the top 10 spots in recent rankings released by the National Council for Teacher Quality. Dallas Baptist, Texas A&M, the University of Houston and the University of Texas all earned spots for their elementary undergraduate programs.

Programs were ranked on factors such as selection criteria, early reading, elementary math and student teaching.

For secondary education programs, the University of Houston ranked No. 23 and Dallas Baptist University at No. 32. Texas Southern University appears at No. 56 and St. Edwards University was close behind at No. 57. Texas didn’t have any universities ranked for special education.

Overall, NCTQ reports that three programs at UH, two programs at Dallas Baptist,  and one program each at UT, A&M, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Southern Methodist University, Texas Southern University and St. Edward’s University earned national “top-ranked’ status,” a distinction awarded to 107 programs in the nation for overall strong performance.

Also we currently rank 202nd out of over 1,500 colleges in America by Washington Monthly ... I'm surprised this hasn't matriculated through TSU's press circuit.  It's a big accomplishment and only an elite number of schools with a history as TSU made the rankings.

And please note we beat $60K a year SMU. Paying that much in tuition you would think they would beat us in every college performance ranking lol. Over-rated .... I work with graduates from SMU and they practically perform on the level as the rest of us (or worse) who are alumni from less expensive colleges. I don't see the value ...
