Internship

Students accepted into the University’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Program or Post-Baccalaureate Program can elect to satisfy their professional practicum requirement through an internship if they meet provisions of the “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB). Interns are hired as the “teacher-of-record” on a one-year probationary contract by a public school accredited by the TEA or TEA-recognized private school. Interns must enroll in a two-semester internship program.
