Becoming a great educator means gaining practical experience in real classrooms. The College has strong ties to the local education community that ensures a quality learning experience for our students.
The first three phases require at least 50 hours of hands-on learning in a variety of settings. In the final phase, students have a full-time mentored clinical internship with an experienced teacher who will assist you as you grow and prepare for a fulfilling career as a childhood educator.
