Student Status
When students are admitted to the program they must determine whether or not they wish to take classes as a full-time or part-time student. The program director and faculty advisor will assist the student in developing an appropriate program of study for program completion based on this determination. Students must be enrolled the term of graduation.
Students are allowed to transfer up to nine (9) credit hours of credit to apply toward the post- graduate degree. The program director will approve this transfer, per the UTHSC policy, after the student is enrolled at UTHSC. No credits are allowed to be transferred into the entry-level program.
Graduate students who are enrolled in 9 hours or more are classified as full-time. Students who are enrolled in less than 9 hours are classified as part-time. The program length is determined by the number of credit hours students register for each term. The curriculum is offered so that a full-time student may complete the program in six terms. Students have seven years to complete the degree requirements. Courses are offered at least once per calendar year in the term indicated within each of the following course descriptions. All courses in the program are delivered in an online format. The Directed Practice courses require students to complete clinical rotations.
