Students entering the program with all undergraduate prerequisite courses completed typically take six semesters to complete the program, with spring and summer terms counting together as one semester. All students are required to complete all required courses, clinical assignments, and a thesis. The program is divided into roughly three equal areas: academic coursework, clinical practicum, and the thesis. It is strongly recommended that a student does not leave the geographical area or obtain full-time employment until all of the program requirements have been met. To do so will lead to increased time-to-graduation, sometimes up to one year.
