The core licensure courses are frequently offered through our Off Campus Programs where a group of students proceed through courses together. Courses are typically held one evening per week. Locations vary throughout the Twin Cities and our downtown Minneapolis campus.
You may start the certificate on-campus in the fall, spring or summer semesters. Programs offered through Off Campus Programs start at various times during the year.
Each summer, three core courses are offered through the Summer Institute in Autism Spectrum Disorders. You may complete these three courses for continuing education credit. Transfer these credits into your master’s program if you have not reached the transfer maximum of 9 credits.
Most courses are 3 credits each. Students typically take one to two courses per semester.
