The program encompasses 45 hours of course work and requires students to complete externship experiences. A comprehensive examination is also required. The degree may be pursued on either a full- or part-time basis. Admission is selective and requires students to present a strong academic background. Successful applicants typically have undergraduate grade point averages of 3.2 or higher and scores above 500 on each GRE subtest.
