It is 30 credit hours, which requires 18 hours in the major (6 content courses), and 12 hours in a field‐based, full‐time internship and seminar that is completed in 24 months. The field‐based internship MUST be completed during the fall and spring semesters. Candidates can transfer up to 6 hours (2 classes) into the program toward the required credit hours. This track is typically completed in 16-24 months depending on semester enrollment. Candidates who enroll in full‐time study (9 credit hours during each semester) are eligible for the DPI stipend. This stipend offers candidates a paid stipend during the internship.
