Education Field Experience (EDUC/EDEC199)
Education field observation is a 50-hour commitment that is only available during Fall or Spring semesters. Students take EDUC/EDEC199 the year after* they complete EDUC/EDEC105. For example, if you completed EDUC105 in the Fall semester, you would take EDUC199 the following Fall semester.
Placement for the education field observation (EDUC/EDEC 199) requires:
- A grade of B or better in EDUC/EDEC 105 within the past 5 years
- Attendance at orientation meeting
Registration for EDUC/EDEC 199 is only done after the mandatory orientation session**
Eligible students will be invited via Brookdale email to an information session. All correspondence will be through Brookdale email only.
*Students who are unable to follow this schedule may request consideration due to extenuating circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include:
- Completion of EDUC/EDEC 105 was over 5+ years ago

- Medical or health-related hardship
- Student athlete scheduling conflict
