Diverse Clinical Opportunities
One of the most outstanding features of our Masters program is our clinical training model and clinical training field placement opportunities. Individualized attention and advising is given to each student to help create a training track that best meets the clinical and developmental needs of the student. We have a selection of over a 120 sites to choose from.
