What are the differences between part-time and full-time tracks?
If you decide to go the part-time route, you can expect that the time spent on coursework and studying will be about half that of a full-time student, as you will be enrolling in about half of the credits. However, unlike full-time students, you may have to wait until the second year to begin your practicum or clinical work.
Please note that your financial aid status may be affected by enrolling part-time.
