This program is offered as a specialization within the counseling and student development doctoral program and requires a minimum of 90 credit hours post-baccalaureate. A cohort model is used, where doctoral courses are taken in a planned sequence of six credit hours per semester (fall, spring, and summer). All courses are offered using K-State Online (Canvas), our learning management system. Some synchronous class and cohort sessions are required via Zoom, our interactive video system. A one-week, on-campus session is required during each of the first three summers of the program. Applications for the next cohort will be accepted beginning in April 2021.
