This flexible program enables each student to complete a study plan arranged with a program adviser. One year of full-time study (two semesters of 10 credits each, including field instruction) is required. The period of study ranges from three to four years, including four semesters of field instruction. Students may begin in the fall or spring. Most students in this program take advantage of the option for study during the summer term.
