Overview

Should I Pursue the Accelerated Cohort or the Traditional Pathway?

Choose the Accelerated Cohort if you:

can take the equivalent of a full-time course load for five consecutive terms, including summer.

are able to intern 35−40 hours per week at an agency during the internship experience.

are eager to proceed through the program with a cohort of peers taking the same coursework at the same time.

would like to save on tuition by completing the program at pace.

Choose the traditional, flexible path if you:

need flexibility in the courses you choose and the number of credits you might want to take each term due to work, family, or other obligations.
