Frequently Asked ?'s
How long is the program?
The program is designed to be completed in two years, although students have the option of extending it to three years.
How many students are accepted each year?
We typically take a class of about 18 students.
When can I start the program?
Applicants
are admitted once a year in the spring. Those accepted have the choice
of beginning summer term and taking one or two courses, or the fall
term.
What is a typical schedule?
The
typical schedule for the first three semesters is two courses that meet
weekly from 3:00-6:20pm. When students begin their internship (usually
in their third or fourth semester), they spend 20 hours practicing
therapy and take two individual courses. As a result, they are
typically involved three or four days and several evenings per week in
some aspect of the program. Thus, the time devoted to their education
increases significantly the second year in the program.

Coming Soon... Soon the Program Handbook will be online. All of your questions and MORE should be found there. Stay tuned...
I do not have the necessary prerequisite courses, should I take them before I apply?
No. The prerequisites can be incorporated into your individualized program.
Is it possible to maintain a job while in the program?
If
your job is flexible it is possible to work full-time for the first two
or three semesters. During the second year of the program it can be
more difficult to maintain a full-time job as you are required to
fulfill 20 hours per week at your internship site along with the
required classes.
