In the Field

Students enrolling in the undergraduate education program begin field experiences that are designed to integrate theory and practice. First up is a sequence of structured classroom observations in local schools, followed by a supervised, 150-hour pre-practicum in a local school. Then, you ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ ’ll finish with a full-time, off-campus student teaching practicum.
