COURSEWORK
This table shows the expected progression of courses and field experiences for students in the ITP in Education Science. Individual progression may vary somewhat, especially for students initially admitted at the Advanced level. However, students will be expected to demonstrate satisfactory progress in the training program components in order to continue in the training program. An annual evaluation will be conducted in the spring semester for all ITP Fellows to determine eligibility for continued support.
A database of courses that meet ITP requirements can be found here.
