The program requires 10 courses (30 units) of online instruction to be completed over a 22-month-long, year around program with students taking two courses per semester. Students are grouped in cohorts that follow the same class schedule throughout the program. The courses are paired both theoretically and practically with learning goals integrated throughout the entire program.
In addition to the course requirements, students will be required to complete an orientation seminar prior to the beginning of the program. Students will also participate in a midpoint symposium to authenticate and assess their progress in the program. The orientation and midpoint symposium will be held at CSUF, but those students who are not able to physically attend will be able to participate online.
