Hands-On Experience

Internship Qualifications

Application Information

The Faculty Internship Program offers an opportunity for graduate students and graduates with a Masters or Doctorate degree to experience teaching at a community college. 
Persons who meet the regular faculty minimum qualifications but who lack teaching experience may also be included in the internship program. This program seeks to enhance the recruitment of qualified persons particularly for disciplines for which recruitment is difficult and for disciplines in which a shortage of qualified faculty is anticipated.  Furthermore, the program includes locating and attracting qualified graduate students who are members of underrepresented groups and persons who are within one year of meeting the regular faculty minimum qualifications. It is also designed to assist participants in understanding the role of the faculty, instructional design and pedagogy, curriculum development, the community college governance structure and educational policy. The program does not offer guaranteed placement for those who qualify; placement is based solely on availability of willing faculty mentors in your discipline.  Due to budget cutbacks, stipends are currently not being awarded.
