A full-time, semester-long, field-based graduate internship (student teaching) is under the tutelage of a university supervisor. This internship cannot begin until all other required courses have been completed. Most courses are offered face-to-face at night and some courses are available online. Not all courses are offered every semester. For example, the internship is offered only during the fall and spring semesters and during the day – when schools are in session. (Please check the Class Schedule Listing on the Armstrong Web site to see course information for the upcoming semester.)
