Degree & Non-Degree Programs:
The department offers entry level and post-professional level master’s degree programs,
a doctoral degree program, as well as certificate programs. All programs prepare graduates
for work as clinical specialists, administrators, researchers, and teachers. The program
interfaces the humanities and the health sciences, recognizing the importance of the profession's
theoretical base in both the liberal arts and the science.
Clinical reasoning is the central organizing framework of the curriculum. It provides a
foundation for clinical decision making and interaction that considers theoretical and
procedural components of therapeutic interventions. Human behavior results from dynamic
interaction between the individual's innate potentials and characteristics, and experiences
with people, objects, and events in the environment. In ongoing clinical reasoning seminars,
the faculty and students examine these interactions in the context of clinical and
community-based practice.
Students can enter any degree program in either the Fall or Spring semester.
Students opting to start the Entry-Level Masters program in the Spring, must take
summer classes following the first semester of academic work.
