Multiple Subject students must also have passed the Reading Instruction Competency Assessment (RICA). This program requires students to have a full- time intern teaching placement, on an internship credential, at a public school district while they are in the program. Students must be enrolled in the University to work on an Intern Credential. A leave of absence or break in attendance will cause the credential to be revoked.
