Extended
The Extended pathway is a flexible option that enables students to complete an individualized study plan arranged with their academic advisor. The period of study ranges from three to five years, with two 600-hour practicum placements. Students must be available at least one weekday for their practicum 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, and students can begin in either the fall or spring semesters.
