5 Semesters vs 6 Semesters

[lindsay359]

I am just now noticing that some schools say they take 5 semesters, while others say they require 6 semesters. Also some of my schools don't mention how long it takes at all. What are some pros and cons of each? Are you taking less classes at a time with the 6 semester schools? I am a CSD major so my prereqs would be done.

If you look at the course sequence for each grad program that should give you the info you're looking for. I applied to a school that is 6 semesters but that is because they offer only 4, 5 classes a semester and have 3 in school clinical practicums before the externships.

Mine is 6. They added a summer at the beginning so we could knock out two classes in June and then start clinic in July. Then the next summer and the last spring are purely externship, no classes. A good deal really.
