Ukiah Program Sequence Options

All candidates for the Multiple Subject Preliminary, Single Subject Preliminary, and Education Specialist Preliminary Level I Mild/Moderate Credentials follow both the public school and University calendars.  Supervised student teaching and internship placements are available in Lake, Mendocino, and Sonoma counties.

Full-Time Program

Student teaching programs require a full-time commitment for preparation over a two semester, eleven month period.  During the fall semester, each candidate engages in professional course work and field experience in schools (observation and preparation), and in the spring continues with professional course work and full-time supervised student teaching.  Candidates enter these programs in the fall semester only.

Intern Program

The intern program is designed for candidates who are teaching in participating districts, on an Intern Credential.  Teachers who meet the requirements for an Intern Credential can use their full-time teaching experience, in lieu of a supervised student teaching placement, to obtain their teaching credential while continuing to work full-time.  Intern candidates take 8-9 units each semester for four semesters.  Candidates transferring to the intern program from the student teaching program are required to teach on an Intern Credential for two full semesters.  Intern options are available for Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Education Specialist placements.  Candidates may enter the intern program in the fall semester only.
