Course Sequencing
Many of the M.A. Clinical-Counseling Psychology students are recent college graduates, while others are working professionals returning to school. To accommodate all of our students, classes are held in the evening (with the exception of Monday classes, which begin at 2 pm), during the fall, spring, and summer terms, thus permitting both full-time and part-time study in the program. Those wishing to pursue graduate work on a full-time basis, however, will find it necessary to begin their studies in the fall, since most of the clinical core courses are two semesters, which begin in the fall term.
