THESE PROGRAMS ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS.

 

Yes! Students can start during any quarter once they are accepted into the program. One thing to keep in mind is that practicum work cannot be completed during summer quarter, so you may have to extend your program one additional quarter if you’re practicum quarter lands in summer.
