All of Tusculum University’s teacher licensure programs are enhanced by two semesters of clinical experiences in area schools. These experiences enrich the knowledge gained in classroom work and more fully prepare students for their student teaching. Many students discover vital new interests in various aspects of education as a result of clinical experiences; sometimes confirming their choice of major, or in other cases, leading the students to select a different major more closely related to their interests.
