Students currently enrolled in the program will continue with the old curriculum, while new incoming students for the Fall 2015 will begin this new 24 month program.
The redesign for the program will feature a two-calendar-year program that will be split into two sections.

During the second year, students will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of courses to complete electives and choose an area of emphasis.
