Sites are chosen, in part, by the availability of clinical education trained teachers, and by the school's capability to accept cohort groups consisting of interns from different programs. The quality of educational placements and the opportunities to observe and teach diverse students are paramount when placing pre-service teachers. Students must apply for all field experiences and final internships. Completion of an application by the applicable deadlines, usually in the middle of the regular semester prior to placement, is required. Applications may be obtained from the College of Education Internship Office and it is the student's responsibility to keep abreast of relevant requirements and deadlines.
Students are limited to one additional course with the final undergraduate internship.
All students graduating in a program or plan for initial teacher certification are required to provide evidence of passing all appropriate certification exams prior to graduation. Several graduate programs also offer field experiences, practica and internships. Applications for these are also available through the College of Education office and are governed by program rules and prerequisites. This is an official FGCU Web page. 10501 FGCU Blvd.
