Preparing Future Faculty
Application Process
To participate in the PFF program, you must be in at least the second year
of a master’s or Ph.D. program at Iowa State, or in a postdoctoral
appointment. If North American English is not your native language, you must
have taken the SPEAK/TEACH test
before applying to the PFF program. If admitted, you must have at least a
level 2 SPEAK/TEACH pass in order to continue with the second semester of
the program. Beyond second semester, you must have a level 1 (highest level)
SPEAK/TEACH pass in order to continue in the program. To ensure a test time,
you should register for the SPEAK/TEACH test well in advance of the application
deadline (for more information on SPEAK/TEACH, see the Graduate
Handbook).
To apply to the PFF program, download, complete, and submit a PFF
application along with a vita and a letter of recommendation from an Iowa
State tenure-track faculty member. Applications are due by the 4th
Monday in February for the fall PFF class. Note, if you have previously applied to the PFF program, please re-submit all materials for the new application cycle.
