Each handbook includes detailed guidance on program requirements, academic policies, and expectations, ensuring that students have the knowledge and tools to navigate their academic careers effectively. Topics covered include degree requirements, course prerequisites, academic policies, and professional expectations. Additionally, the handbooks offer an overview of the school’s mission, values, and commitment to social justice.
