Student Teaching Honorarium Fees:*
There is an honorarium fee for student teaching (EDU-372 or EDU-373). Please refer to the Academic Fees section for current rate. This fee is
non-refundable once placements have been officially assigned.
Departmental Review for Field Placement
Students majoring in Education, Nuclear Medicine, Nursing, Nutrition or Social
Work are required to complete a field practicum or clinical experience. Because this requirement necessitates working with the public in a professional
setting, it is important that the student has advanced interpersonal skills,
mature judgment, and appropriate professional demeanor. Thus faculty in these
programs will review students prior to the practicum and make appropriate
recommendations up to and including removal from placement.
Education requirements are aligned with the PDE and therefore subject to change.
