About the Internship

Applying for the five year and Master's Certification Internship 

Student teaching assignments are made at various sites in Florida, in accordance with program objectives and the student's professional goals. In addition to regular tuition expenses, students have the responsibility for transportation to and/or housing in the community where student teaching is to occur. Fees which school districts may impose relating to requirements for personnel screening (e.g. finger printing, background checks, and substance abuse checking) are the responsibility of the student.

To be eligible for an internship all students must apply prior to the application deadline. To assure your placement for the Graduate Internship, it is important that you carefully follow the following instructions:
