*Students must accrue at least 350 clock hours total. With 8-week terms, this amounts to approximately 22 hours per week which may be too much for many students who are also working. The expectation for 3 credit hours would be 150 clock hours; therefore, the optional
AC 492 Addictions Internship III for 3 credits for students who do not accrue all 350 hours over the two required internship courses.
Open Electives (45-48 credit hours)
Forty-five to forty-eight credit hours of open, undistributed elective credit hours (depending on whether AC 492 is needed). A student may choose to declare a concentration or a minor.
