*Practicum does not denote a full time experience. The Literacy Practicum involves 50-80 hours of field work which can be completed in your own classroom if you are a full time/part time teacher of record. If you are not currently teaching, you can find a participating school for field work, and we will provide documentation to the school/district that verifies your enrollment in our program and the requirements for field experience. Those individuals not seeking K-12 certification, may seek placement in any educational environment including adult education settings, volunteer educational settings such as Big Brothers/Sisters, etc.
Use the Course Catalog to find course descriptions, instructor information, and when the courses will be offered. See Academic Calendars for deadlines.
