Beginning with the first course taken in the education curriculum, students complete 100 hours in middle and high school classrooms tutoring and observing before they begin student teaching.

These field experiences prepare students for student teaching internships during either the certification or graduate portion of their education. During these internships, students observe, prepare lesson plans and teach. The student teaching programs typically last 16 weeks. The Language Arts Education curriculum is designed so that students can receive a Bachelor of Science degree in four years, though this can vary depending on when the student becomes a fully admitted student to the college.
