Internships usually begin on the first day of the second week of classes each semester.
Students should attend the first seminar as noted in the Schedule of Classes for an orientation to the internship. A graduate intern in special education must teach in a setting that allows for continuous instructional programming for at least five learners with the disability for which the intern is seeking licensure. For example, if the intern is seeking licensure in learning disabilities, at least five students in the classroom must have learning disabilities. The time requirements of a graduate internship vary, depending on whether the intern is seeking initial licensure in special education or adding an additional disability licensure area. An initial special education license requires a six semester-hour internship with 300 hours in the classroom, typically mornings.
