The degree plan requires 53 specialty hours and 15 general education core subjects. This is a very tough schedule if you do not have a degree or the required Core subjects completed. In order to cover the Core requirements there are winter and summer interim classes and also some of these can be taken online. For those of you who feel this is too much of a load, we also offer a five semester plan.
