Memorandum of Understanding
The Intern Program is an alternative pathway toward earning a California preliminary teaching credential. Interns typically
teach full time during the day and take classes at night. Coursework is integrated throughout the program and is designed to
be an integral part of the teacher’s daily work. The Intern credential track is for students who have been offered full-time
teaching employment with a district that has an Intern agreement with CSU, Bakersfield. An Intern credential is issued for a
two-year period of time. Our Intern program allows individuals to complete their teacher preparation coursework concurrent
with a paid teaching position. All Intern candidates in this program must be employed by the district as the full-time teacher
of record in a multiple subject, single subject or special education classroom. An Intern credential authorizes the same
service at the same levels as the regular credential authorizes. As an Intern you are required to perform all faculty duties
assigned, including those preparatory to the beginning of school, to the same degree as a fully certified teacher in the same
school. You must meet the ethical, legal, and other professional standards expected of credentialed teachers. This program
provides teacher preparation coursework and support from college and district faculty. Completion of the CSUB Intern
credential program results in the same credential as is earned through the traditional teacher preparation program. Intern
candidates are required to enroll and stay active in credential courses each term. The intern credential issuance date shall be
determined by either the date all requirements were completed and/or submitted or the beginning date of intern employment.
However, the issuance date cannot predate the completion of all intern credential requirements. An Intern credential shall be
valid only as long as the holder is in good standing in the teacher Intern program and their employing district. Failure to
comply could result in dismissal from the program and revocation of your intern credential. Inactivity could also result in
being held to new program requirements and/or state standards.
Once you have successfully completed the CSUB Intern credential program including all coursework, seminars, exams,
TPA’s, CPR and support hours you will be eligible to apply for your California Preliminary Teaching Credential.
