Extended
The Extended pathway is a flexible option that enables students to complete an individualized study plan arranged with their academic advisor. Two semesters of full-time study (minimum of 12 credits per semester) are required. The period of study ranges from three to four years, with two 600-hour Field placements. Students must be available at least one weekday for their Field learning site. Placements with evening and weekend hours are limited and cannot be guaranteed. Most students in this pathway take advantage of the option for study during the summer term.
This pathway is available at our Washington Square, Rockland County, and Westchester County campuses.
