The faculty discourages outside employment during the first three years of this highly demanding program. Students who have worked even one day per week have found juggling work, classes, practicum, and assistantships exceptionally stressful.

To remain in good standing students must enroll in a full-time load of courses as outlined in the sequence of courses in the Counseling Psychology Student Handbook.
