Course Sequencing
Course Sequencing
Many of the M.A. Clinical-Counseling Psychology students are recent college graduates, while others are working professionals returning to school. In the fall and spring, classes are held in the evening (with the exception of Monday, when classes begin at 2 pm). Students may attend full-time or part-time. Summer classes are held in the evenings. Those wishing to complete the program in two years will find it necessary to begin their studies in the summer or fall due to course sequencing.
