Scope and Sequence of Classes by Term

The Scope & Sequence of Classes is currently under a modification. The Intersession Term will be eliminated and courses sequence will be redistributed. Please check back after May 1, 2007 for the NEW Scope & Sequence Listing.

PSP follows a modified quarter system with a Fall Term of eleven weeks, an Intercession of four weeks, a Winter Term of eleven weeks, a Spring Term of eleven weeks, and a Summer Term of eleven weeks. The Scope and Sequence represented here will go into effect beginning with the Fall Term of 2005.

Please note that the courses listed below are taught on-site at our campus in Sacramento. For such classes, the faculty assumes that for every one contact hour in class, students will spend two hours outside of class in reading, research, reflection and preparation.

Check the Course Descriptions page for course prerequisites. Students are urged to contact the School to arrange for an interview to establish an individualized Course Progression through their program emphasis.
