Students then join the Summer III cohort in Wilton for their finishing summer session, and complete the required practicum or internship in the following fall semester.

*Graduates of the Center for Anthroposophy Building Bridges Program may be eligible for advanced standing in lieu of Summer 1 Classes. Please consult with faculty upon application for admission.
