Internship Credentials
University internships issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing are supported at Cal Lutheran in the Teacher Preparation Program, the Special Education Program, and the Counseling and Guidance Program.
Cal Lutheran currently has internship agreements with all districts in Ventura County, as well as in Los Angeles Unified School Districts 1 and 2 (east and west San Fernando Valley areas).
