The program also may require you to complete a 3-credit-hour field internship, the details of which you will develop in discussions with your advisor and master's committee.

Prior to acceptance into the program, you may enroll in up to 6 credit hours as a nondegree-seeking (in some cases, post-baccalaureate) student. Enrollment does not guarantee acceptance. Learn more about nondegree-seeking university student admissions.
