Students applying to our doctoral program with a masters degree or graduate coursework from another program should follow the typical application procedure. The program director will review your transcripts for any courses that may be waived for the doctoral degree, but due to our specific course requirements, practicum and internship requirements, the typical time-to-completion may not be affected. In addition, we are a full-time only program (we do not take students who would plan to take classes part-time).
