NLU faculty, school personnel associated with the internship site, and participating interns will be responsible for monitoring the internship. Each student in the Curriculum and Teaching Specialist Field Program is required to register for a total of nine semester hours. Prerequisites: Acceptance into the Curriculum and Teaching Educational Specialist Field Program and enrollment in Term 1. 1-4 semester hours. Variable credit per quarter.
