Student Teaching Internships: Each semester the Director of Field
Experiences schedules a meeting with students who will intern within two
semesters. Notices are emailed to education majors alerting students to attend
the meeting. Details regarding how to make application for student teaching
and the deadline for completing the application are discussed at this mandatory
meeting. It is the student’s responsibility to make application for student teaching
(EDU 481 or EDD 481) by the announced deadline. The completed application is
reviewed by the Education Department before acceptance to student teaching is
granted and an internship assignment is made.
The student teaching internship is the culminating experience for students
majoring in education and should be scheduled for the semester immediately
preceding graduation. Students must satisfy all the following requirements to
qualify for a student teaching internship:
1. Completion of all courses required in the student’s major. Under certain
extenuating circumstances, an exception to this policy may be granted by
