University Intern Program

The University Interns Program provides an opportunity for qualified candidates to work as teachers of record while completing their pre-service preparation. Internships are an alternative to a traditional practicum and student teaching. Students may only become university interns after meeting all requirements including completing prerequisite classes and having an offer of employment with a school which meet all of the program’s criteria.
