In addition to main campus personnel, on-site personnel assist students and provide an effective liaison between the main campus and students and are available to students during classes and throughout the program. Forty-five hours are required and are scheduled into two full weekends. Courses for a given cluster of students are typically scheduled from August through late June. Each course is offered once for each cluster during the course of the approximately three-year program. Students admitted at a specific field-based site must begin the program with the first scheduled course offered for their cluster as course work is sequenced throughout the program.
Instructors are accessible to students throughout course work.
Students register and begin course preparation approximately one month prior to the first class meeting. Practicum classes will be scheduled over a 15-week format. Schedules will be affected by official university holidays, such as Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day, as posted in the academic calendar. The Master s Program Summer Institute, designed to enhance the professional development of students outside the classroom, is open to all master s counseling students. It is held each summer on the main campus in Fort Lauderdale.
