Program Schedule
The IECMH certificate program follows a cohort model. Students are expected to progress through the program without interruption over the course of study. Class schedules and course experiences are designed to accommodate demands of working professionals, residents outside of the metropolitan area, and already matriculated graduate students. Courses are scheduled in a series of day-long sessions each month during the fall, spring, and summer sessions.
