Pre-Service
Fortune School of Education is dedicated to admitting students who demonstrate academic excellence and show promise for futures in education. We are equity- and diversity-minded but remain selective as an institution. Admissions decisions are made by the admissions committee based on the strength of the applicant’s past academic performance, the admissions interview, their relevant work experience, and their preparation in the proposed field of study. Those interested in attending Fortune must submit an application with the required fee, a curriculum vitae or resume, transcripts from all previous coursework, recommendations, and any other requested materials as listed on the website and the Catalog. Applications are screened by our staff, and those selected for further consideration are invited to an interview with a panel comprising members of our faculty and staff. Those who receive approval from the majority of the panel will be invited to enroll in the program to which they applied.
Each program has its own eligibility criteria and admission requirements, which can be found on our website and in the Catalog.
Pre-Service, a robust “boot camp” of 150 hours, covers classroom management, teaching reading and writing, and field experience. It also offers 30 hours of discipline-specific courses and 45 hours of preparation to teach English learners.
After completing Pre-Service and meeting all requirements, including securing a position as the teacher of record in one of our school district partners, candidates join the two-year District Intern Program.
