Curriculum Structure Change: Three-Year to Two-Year Program
Effective Fall 2025, our accrediting body approved our program's transition from a three-year to a two-year structure. Students currently enrolled in the three-year model will complete their program as planned, with the final cohort graduating in Spring 2027. All newly admitted students, beginning in Fall 2025 and subsequent cohorts, will follow the new two-year (24 month) curriculum. Both curriculum sequences are provided below for reference.
