The university's traditional program is offered via its MasterTrack system, which requires students to complete a separate four-month program which then grants eligibility for students to proceed to the advanced standing track. A total of 938 hours of fieldwork practicum is required to complete the traditional program and 684 hours are required for the advanced standing track. The final application deadline for the advanced standing program full-time is July 1 and the part-time deadline is Dec. 1. The part-time MasterTrack program application deadline is Aug. 1.
