Standard Program
Designed for students with counseling experience, the Standard Program comprises 24 courses and two clinical experiences: Practicum and Internship. The program can be completed on an accelerated full-time, traditional, or part-time basis.
California regulations require the equivalent of at least two quarters of coursework in order to begin your Practicum season. Therefore, California residents are only eligible for admission to the traditional and part-time tracks.
