MEDAILLE COLLEGE | Graduate Catalog | 2011–2012 DELIVERY FORMAT In the Fall semester, students take two consecutive 7 week courses with a Saturday component at the beginning and end of each course; additionally they take one 15 week course and one online course. This allows students to attend classes only 2 nights a week. This format is repeated in the Spring. In the Summer, students take two consecutive 6 week courses with a Saturday component at the beginning and end of each course and register for either Thesis Guidance or Internship. Meeting times are arranged with the student’s supervisor. Because the coursework is sequentially arranged, it is strongly recommended that students start the program in the Fall semester. However, students will also be accepted in the Spring with the understanding that they are entering a coherent and unified program midstream. No student shall be allowed to begin the program during the summer semester. Placement Data for recent graduates of the M.A. in psychology Further Education % Employed Placement
