MS Curriculum & Formats

Students can complete the program in as little as two years as outlined below. A three year progression is also available, if additional time is needed to meet internship field placement requirements. Students may also choose a four year part time progression, with two courses per semester. 

Students who select to complete concentrations in Art Therapy, Child Trauma & Play Therapy, Trauma, or Addictions and Recovery will complete additional courses as assigned.

Daytime/Evening Formats

Classes generally meet every week, on two different weekdays on the East Falls campus. Both the daytime and evening cohorts are comprised primarily of full-time students who enroll in 3- 4 courses per semester and take classes during their respective daytime or evening time periods.
