• MAT Internships: The MAT program requires successful completion of a semester-long internship in a public school in the appropriate licensure grades and subjects.  Internship placements are made through the Office of Field Experiences in the College of Education and Allied Professions.  Applications and guidelines for the internship are at this link. The application and resume are due on the last Friday of September (for spring semester internships) and the last Friday of February (for fall semester internships).
• Graduation Applications: Applications for graduation must be completed and in the Graduate School by the 15th of September, February, or May to graduate that semester. (It takes some time to get them processed and signed by concentration advisor, education advisor, and one department head.)  The graduation application is on the Forms & Manuals section of the Graduate School website.  Here is a link to the pdf file.  If you cannot attend the graduation ceremony, you must complete and submit this form.
