Hi!
I applied to Lehigh and I was wondering the same thing. If you refer to the program manual (pages 28-29), it says that the program is set to be a five year program. Yet, most students need extra time finishing the sub-specialization courses. Because of that some students do not start their internship until the sixth year instead of the fifth like most programs. In addition, some students need a seventh year to finish their dissertation.
Basically, sub-specialization courses and the dissertation seem to be the main reasons that hardly any students finish in five years. I would definitely ask for clarification at the interview if you were invited.
Hi,
I applied to 9 schools. UDel, UVa, Lehigh, Ohio State, USF, UCSB, LSU, Texas A&M and University of Washington.
I have 4 interviews so far! I'm super excited about that especially because this is my second time applying.
Good Luck to everyone!
