The Delta State University/Hinds Community College Partnership (DHP) for Elementary Education Program General Information Instruction is usually provided in a hybrid format. Though coursework is primarily online, each class meets approximately once a month face-to-face on the Hinds Community College campus and again through Canvas, an electronic virtual classroom. Students access the virtual classroom through a personal computer outfitted with a camera and microphone. These classes are usually held between 5:00 7:00 p.m. and 7:15 9:15 p.m. to accommodate working students. Occasionally, meetings are held on Saturdays. Students must participate in field experiences in metro-area schools during the school day to complete instructional requirements for specific courses. The final semester is the student internship and requires a complete semester of student teaching in metro-area schools. Praxis I and Praxis II Preparation for Praxis I occurs in EDU 1613, and we suggest that you take Praxis I at this time. Praxis I must be successfully completed before beginning Semester 3. Praxis II must be successfully completed at the beginning of Semester 3. Students may not enter Semester 4, which is the student internship, until Praxis II is successfully completed and scores have been received by appropriate officials at Delta State University. Transfer Hours DSU requires completion of 62 hours of specific courses; however, you may transfer additional hours that might apply to concentration areas. Your transcript evaluation will provide additional information. Math Courses College Algebra and the Real Number System are required at DSU. Geometry and Measurement is not required; however, it will count toward a concentration area or secondary endorsement. Additional math courses usually apply to an endorsement in mathematics.
