 Students continue their course work in the summer, taking 9 credit hours while pursuing employment opportunities, followed by 6 hours in the fall and 6 hours in the spring of  the internship year. Nine hours of course work are completed during the second summer of the program, with 3 hours of course work done in the fall of the second year to complete the requirements of the chosen certification area. During this internship year students are also sitting for the teacher certification exams.  Comprehensive exams for the degree and graduation are taken during the final fall semester.
