Clinical Hours

Students will be assigned to a clinical site during a specific week (completed between weeks 5 and 9). Students will complete 27 hours of clinical rotation during their assigned week. The assigned site and week students are to attend clinical will be determined by the instructor and student AFTER the course has begun. This cannot be pre-scheduled.
An example of a clinical schedule is M/Th/M, 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (Three, 9-hr. days to complete the 27 hrs.). Schedules are determined by the assigned clinical site.

*HYBRID: A combination of Face-to-Face and Online (more than 50% online). You will have contact with your instructor in the classroom and will need to be motivated to complete coursework online, outside of the classroom. Internet access is needed for hybrid classes.
