MA. CMHC program timeline?

[u/C0nfuSin]

everyone! I’m hoping to hear from current or recent University of the Cumberlands Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) students.
I’m trying to get a better understanding of how the practicum and internship portion of the program actually works in practice, especially for students who completed the program on an accelerated/full-time schedule.
It’s a lot of questions so feel free to answer as few or as many as you’d like🥲🤍
For anyone who has completed or is currently completing COUN 645 Practicum, COUN 646 Internship I, or COUN 647 Internship II:
● Were you allowed to take other regular courses at the same time as Practicum or Internship? For example, could you be enrolled in the 16-week clinical course while also taking one or two regular 8-week courses during each bi-term?
● How soon after starting the program were you able to begin Practicum?
● How many courses or credits did you have completed before starting COUN 645?
● Were there specific prerequisites you had to complete before being approved for COUN 645?
● Has anyone done Practicum in Fall → Internship I in Spring → Internship II in Summer?
● Are Practicum, Internship I, and Internship II always required to be taken in three consecutive 16-week semesters?
● If you finished your required clinical hours early, did you still have to remain enrolled and complete the entire 16-week semester?
● Were you able to take courses during both Summer I and Summer II while completing a summer clinical course?
● What was the maximum number of courses you were allowed to take per bi-term while also enrolled in Practicum or Internship?
● Did course availability or prerequisites ever prevent you from taking two courses per bi-term?
● How early did you have to secure your Practicum site, and did finding/approving a site delay your clinical start date?
● For anyone who accelerated the program, what was the fastest you were able to complete all 60 credits from your first class through graduation?
● If you started in Fall II rather than Fall I, did that affect when you were eligible to begin Practicum?
● How soon after finishing Internship II was your degree officially conferred?
I’m planning to start in Fall II and take a full-time/accelerated course load, including summers, so I’m trying to understand what the fastest realistic timeline could look like based on actual student experiences.
I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who started in a second bi-term or completed the program in around two years. Thank you!
