Students select one of five pathways and complete three integrated pathway courses that examine the systems, issues, and interventions central to their chosen area of focus.

Students also complete three Levels of Practice Skills courses, which provide opportunities to develop and strengthen applied practice skills.

Field Education Practicum is completed each quarter across both years of the program, integrating classroom learning with supervised practice experience.

Students may use three elective courses to customize their program of study. Electives may be used to deepen knowledge in a particular area, explore additional interests, or complete additional practice-skills coursework.
