* We make every effort to accommodate non-traditional students, some of whom have family and other obligations that prevent them from following the curriculum in exactly the usual way or on the usual schedule. Some students also elect to complete a thesis or extend their program for other reasons that are part of an individualized academic plan. For the purposes of this table, “taking longer than usual” means that the student required more than the planned amount of time due to difficulties fulfilling academic or clinical requirements on schedule.
