Students entering the program with graduate courses from another program may request no more than 3 core courses be waived, provided the appropriate instructors judge them to be of equivalent content. In no circumstances may graduate course credit be granted for undergraduate courses or projects. Substitutions of projects or other experience for required courses will not be permitted.
The expected timeline is 5 years on campus followed by 1 year on internship (6 years). Dissertation progress or internship match impact on time to completion could influence time to completion with 6 years to completion in some cases. It is rare for our students to exceed 7 years.
