        Single Subject Internship Program

        • Fresno State internships are ONLY for candidates who are already enrolled in one of the Kremen School's credential programs (single subject, multiple subject, or education specialist).
        • The University and Subject Matter Area Departments are under no obligation to accept credential candidates as "university interns" as the Teacher Internship Program (TIP) is an auxiliary service provided to the teacher credential candidate.
        • All Single Subject credential candidates must be "intern eligible" and have met their U.S. Constitution requirement before a Fresno State internship can be granted.
        • Effective Spring 2020: EHD 155A internships will require subject matter department and Single Subject Program Coordinator approval. This approval must be secured BEFORE a school district contract has been signed.

        Note:

        • Single Subject internships must meet the requirements of the subject matter department (check the subject drop down on this page).
        • All internships must be approved by BOTH the Subject Matter Adviser and the Single Subject Coordinator.
        • Internship assignments must be in the same subject matter area as their subject matter competency (i.e., if you have a Math degree or CSETs, but no science you cannot be an intern in a science classroom), and must be subject matter competent (smc).
        • All Single Subject Credential University Interns must maintain a 3.00 GPA, and earn grades no lower than a C in all single subject credential courses.
        • All Single Subject Credential University Interns must be "cleared" for EHD 155B. EHD 155B Clearance Application forms will be provided in EHD 154A at one of the seminars.
        • Once accepted to the Teacher Internship Program, there will be a charge of $1600 per semester in addition to tuition.
        • If the employment site is more than 15 miles from the main university campus there may also be a charge for supervision mileage. These fees help to provide interns with the additional support hours required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
        • Internships beyond a 45-mile radius from Fresno State University's main campus are not accepted. No exceptions.

        Single Subject Intern Teachers

        Note: All teacher credential candidates, including interns, must be cleared for EHD 155B (final clinical practice). This procedure is completed in the EHD 154A seminar (link to FORM).

        • Full time internship = 10 units of EHD 155B in one semester.
        • Part time internship = 5 units of EHD 155B over two semesters
        • If you need to repeat EHD 155B, it will require both subject matter department and internship program approval.
