The Graduate Teacher Internship is available to candidates pursuing the MAT. Full participation in the internship program entitles the candidate to 33 credits of graduate tuition. Candidates who hold teaching certificates must meet with an advisor to develop a plan of study and can apply immediately for a one year internship in either the fall or spring semester.  Once candidates are accepted into the MAT program, they are required to sign a promissory note in which they agree to complete an internship which entitles them to 33 credits of tuition.  They are subject to tuition bills for any credits required after completion of the initial 33 credits.
