Abstract	Teach for America (TFA) collaborates primarily with universities in most of its 53 regions throughout the United States, yet there is little research that examines these partnerships. This qualitative interview study explored how TFA Corps Members (CMs) perceived their learning in a small college's graduate teacher education program and how college administrators, instructors, and mentors viewed the partnership between the college and TFA. The author found that coursework, mentoring, and collaboration between the college and TFA needed to be revised, restructured, and strengthened. The author described how college faculty and administrators worked to make modifications despite challenges that still exist. The changes made to strengthen the college's TFA program also assisted faculty in revising coursework for traditionally prepared preservice teachers. The findings of this study inform the national conversation about university partnerships with alternative certification programs and other university/TFA partnerships. (As Provided).
