Notes:
A minimum of two education courses are required. These courses are intended to ensure that each student has a basic understanding of the organization of schools and curriculum theory, development, delivery of instruction, and school law.
ERSH courses 8610, 8620, and 8320 are prerequisites for many other ERSH courses. Therefore, students are encouraged to take all 3 courses during their first year of study.
For students who desire a strong background in statistics and measurement, the following sequence is recommended for the first two years of study (based on current course scheduling):
Year |
Fall |
Spring |
Summer |
1 |
ERSH 8310 |
ERSH 8320 |
ERSH 8740 |
2 |
ERSH 8350 |
ERSH 8750 |
|
1Must be taken in semesters indicated. Other listed courses are required but can be taken any semester before graduation, although some courses (e.g., ERSH 8610) should be taken before sitting for comprehensive written exams at the beginning of the 3rd year.
2You must sign up for 9 hrs total of EPSY 9720 during your internship year. You must take 2 credit hours of 9720 the summer before you start (i.e., most internships will have a start date that falls before the beginning of the Fall semester) as well as 1 credit hour of 9720 during the following summer to ensure that you are a registered student at UGA all terms during which you are on internship. You must also register for 3 hours of 9720 during the Fall term of the internship year and 3 hours the Spring term of the internship year.
