2025 State Reports (AY 2023-24) · the current published cycleRetrieved Sep 30, 2026

Tennessee State Board–approved EPPs, including job-embedded clinical practice providers, report under Title II. Practitioner vs Professional licenses are state credential stages, not Title II provider IDs.

Data vintage

Current cycle: 2025 State Reports (AY 2023-24). Official portal: Title II Higher Education Act reports.

How to read this table

Title II counts an institution offering both traditional and alternative routes as two providers. This site keeps that split and does not merge routes.

Pass rates based on fewer than 10 test takers, or rates the source suppressed, appear as “Not reported.” We never invent a rate from completers and enrollment.

Tables show published Title II figures for the current reporting cycle. Missing or unpublished rates appear as Not reported.

Frequently asked questions

What is Title II teacher preparation data?

Title II of the Higher Education Act requires annual reporting on teacher preparation enrollment, completers, and licensure exam pass rates. States submit consolidated reports to the U.S. Department of Education.

Why are some pass rates shown as Not reported?

Small samples (fewer than 10 test takers) and rates the source did not publish are shown as Not reported so unstable or unpublished figures never appear as numbers.

Which Title II cycle does this page use?

This page uses 2025 State Reports (AY 2023-24). Confirm the latest cycle on title2.ed.gov before citing.

How many Title II providers are listed for Tennessee?

This cycle lists 75 provider-route rows for Tennessee: 38 traditional and 37 alternative. Title II counts an institution that offers both routes as two providers. These counts are not a ranking.

What enrollment and completer totals are published for Tennessee?

For Tennessee, published enrollment across 75 rows is 8,456; published completers across 75 rows are 2,570. These are sums of published cells, not a pass rate.

How should I read Tennessee Title II rows?

Tennessee State Board–approved EPPs, including job-embedded clinical practice providers, report under Title II. Practitioner vs Professional licenses are state credential stages, not Title II provider IDs.
