Internship

Thinking of Becoming an Intern?

• Multiple Subjects Candidates can choose Track C (Internship) after they have completed at least one semester in the MS Credential Program.
• As an intern, you are the sole paid teacher of record and will not have a resident teacher in the classroom with you. However, you will be provided with 144 hours of support through the cooperating district and CSUSB, as well as 45 hours of support specific to teaching English learners pursuant to California Code of Regulations §80033.

Next Steps

2. Submit your completed intern eligibility application to credadmissions@csusb.edu
3. Once approved, CredAdmissions will send you an intern eligibility letter.
4. Contact your program coordinator immediately to set up a meeting to complete a new program plan, discuss the unique courses you must take, as well as next steps.
5. Your intern eligibility letter will have links to two more forms you need to complete and get signatures for.
6. Once you complete those forms and have appropriate signatures, send them to the credential analysts credrec@csusb.edu who will recommend you for your intern credential.

Unlike student teaching, which requires one semester of supervision, internships require two semesters of supervision.
