Sites listed as TENTATIVE have not yet been confirmed by university partners due to COVID-19 policies and procedures. You may list these options when selecting sites in your application, but students will not be admitted to these programs until confirmation becomes available from our university partners.
Should COVID-19 policies and procedures set forth by any university partner require FTE to cancel in-person programs in the future, programs will be transitioned to a virtual format.
