The program's mission is to educate entry-level and in-service practitioners who work in a variety of settings. The educational program, through academic course work, requires each student to assimilate knowledge, acquire skills, and develop professional judgment and behaviors appropriate for wise and ethical practice. Program faculty have the responsibility to graduate full competent, skilled practitioners while remaining sensitive and responsive to the educational needs of each student.
