Enrollment in the practitioner s program is limited to 22 students. Currently enrolled practitioners have priority to register for the next practitioner s session. The four-week intensive reading session precedes the classroom session. Students will receive reading assignments and materials for each course offered during the session upon registration. They are expected to read and follow the syllabus before coming to campus.
Students register for six semester hours of coursework per session.
Each of the two courses meets for four hours a day, for a total of eight hours a day. The material read in the initial four-week reading period will be evaluated, and the groundwork for the seminar paper will be established. If a course requires a final examination, it will administered during this period. The seminar paper allows the student the opportunity to demonstrate his or her grasp of the course material. Under supervision of the instructor, each student prepares a written report.
