An integral part of the program is the internship, in which candidates acquire skills and experience under the supervision of an advisor and a site administrator. The emphasis is on training candidates to administer programs in accordance with best professional practices. Graduates of the program earn a degree from an academically respected university with a top 10 NCAA brand.

Students move through the program as a cohort, with a new cohort starting each fall. The on-campus curriculum is designed as a 34 semester credit program with an average two year completion time for full time students. Students entering in the fall semester can usually complete the program requirements within the two years provided they take six to nine credits per semester. The online program differs as classes are offered in an accelerated fashion with two courses (approximately 8 weeks in duration) taken each semester.

Students can usually complete the program in six semesters, provided they follow the recommended course sequence schedule.
