Yes! Students can start during any quarter once they are accepted into the program. One thing to keep in mind is that practicum work cannot be completed during summer quarter, so you may have to extend your program one additional quarter if your practicum quarter lands in summer.
Candidates are given two plans for either the credit hour or clock hour option, either full-time or part-time. Each plan is outlined on the information page for either option. You can mix summer and academic year (quarters) to complete your program.
Contact the CTE Office if you need further assistance after reviewing the information pages.
Students who select Plan 2A, if eligible, are able to change to Plan 2B to complete coursework for credit.
