Courses

Courses for this program are 100% online: no campus visits are required.

Successful completion of the program requires 19 credit hours of course work, which may include transfer credits from other regionally accredited institutions. 

The degree requirements include nine credit hours of applied psychology of child advocacy studies courses. To fulfill the remainder of the credit hours, the student may choose two elective courses, a field education seminar and three hours in a related field placement.

Courses may be asynchronous or synchronous or a hybrid of the two. Asynchronous means that courses do not have scheduled meeting times. Synchronous means class lectures or activities occur at certain times of the day/week and require the student to attend via online collaborative tools.
