M.A. Program Class Schedule

Students join a weekend or daytime cohort that commences, progresses, and graduates together. Weekend cohorts attend classes approximately one weekend per month and one evening per week. Daytime cohorts attend classes two days per week from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. During the second year, students also commit 20-24 hours per week to their practicum (AKA supervised clinical work).

  • We are committed to offering a program that enables students to earn their degree within two years. Unfortunately, this means that we must sometimes schedule class during holidays. If attending class will limit your ability to celebrate a holiday of religious or cultural significance, please notify your course instructor and the Dean of Students in advance of your absence so accommodations can be made. Please note that students may miss no more than 6 hours of a 3-unit course or 3 hours of a 1.5-unit course.
