PFY - Professional Fourth Year
You're almost there!

 
The elementary teacher education preparation program culminates in the Professional Fourth Year, or PFY.   The PFY is a two-semester sequential program integrating theory, methods, practica, and student teaching.  The goal of this program is to give each student the best possible background in teacher preparation, and to develop competent beginning elementary teachers.  Students have the option of starting Fall or Spring.  Students must apply for admission into teacher education, and again into the PFY program.  Notices to submit application for PFY will be posted in Lommen Hall and announced in classes.
