The
initial certification teacher education programs in the College of
Education require internships to be completed in schools within the
greater Columbia area. Internships allow future teachers to work in
classrooms under the guidance of experienced teachers in different
capacities ranging from instructional assistant to student teacher.
These internships vary in credit from 3 to 12 semester hours and
require between 2 and 6 hours per day of time in classrooms.
Internships are limited to students enrolled in a USC initial
certification teacher education program and must be arranged through
the College of Education.
