Office of Field Experience

A smiling instructor wearing glasses sits with two students at a white classroom desk. They have open books and red binders on the table. Behind them, a whiteboard and wall clock are visible in a brightly lit room. All three individuals look toward the camera while holding pens and engaging in study activities together.

Welcome

Field experiences for the Bachelor of Science in Education occur in three levels: Foundation, Practicum, and Internship. Foundation courses require 15 hours of small group and one-on-one instruction. In these courses, the teacher candidates practice specific skills that have been introduced by their college professors. Teacher candidates take a series of four Practicum courses, each requiring 15-20 field experience hours and the development and delivery of three whole-class lessons. During Final Internship, teacher candidates work their way up to full classroom take-over.
