I. Standard Track

• The Standard Track applies to students who live in Pennsylvania and states which have similar educational requirements for licensure to Pennsylvania. 
• The length of the Standard Track is 60 credits.
   

II. State Customization Track 

This track applies to:

• States where students need practicum requirements, such as clinical hours, beyond what is included in the standard track.
• States where students need practicum credits beyond what is included in the Standard Track, and/or
• States where students need coursework beyond what is included in the Standard Track.

The length of the State Customization Track ranges from 60-69 credits. During the application process, students will receive guidance as to the number of credits needed to fulfill licensure requirements in their state.

• Some students may only need to take 60 credits, but still need the State Customization Track instead of the Standard Track because their state requires more clinical hours (not credit hours) of practicum than the Standard Track.
• For states that require additional credits, the additional 1-9 credits in the State Customization Track are offered as electives so students can do what is needed for their state requirements.
