Timeline of Completion

Typical Two-Year Timeline of Completion

Normal time from matriculation to degree is two academic years, though students may elect to condense the period into a 12-month period by taking all classes in year one and doing their Practicum in the summer after the academic year. To opt into the 12-month track, students must submit a supplemental form to program administration.
