How to Improve Content Coverage

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond
  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws
  • Pre-Columbian and/or Ancient Civilizations

To improve content coverage, the institution or teacher preparation program may need to require additional courses for their candidates to achieve coverage across all topics. Our analysts identified the following courses to cover these topics:

  • World History - 20th Century and Beyond: HIST 122
  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws: No applicable courses found in NCTQ's analysis
