The CMHC program is a 36-month, 9-semester, year-round online program with two required on-campus residency experiences (one in the first semester and one in the second summer of the program). The program enrolls students in fall and spring. It takes 3 years of full-time enrollment to complete the CMHC program across three annual terms (fall, spring, and summer semesters). Enrolling in the program part-time will extend the program to 48 or more months as every course is not offered every semester. Courses are offered in 8-week sections with the exception of the Practicum I, II, and III and Internship I, II, and III, which run 16 weeks in length. Students will enroll in two to three courses every 8-week period. The program is designed to prepare students for state licensure as professional counselors.
