Each of the four models are extremely different. Odds are the Integrated Undergraduate is not for you at this point, so that leaves you with Internship, Residency, and Tradition (or Student Teaching). Each model have different features, and different pros and cons. You will need to select which is the best fit for you.

• Teach you how to build a strong academic resume and cover letter
• Provide opportunities to practice and refine answers to sample interview questions
• Provide an EdJoin orientation
