MSP Webinar June 18th

0:00Alright. Well, thank you for joining. I guess, okay. We just had one more join us. Thank you very much for joining. I'm Michelle. I am the admissions adviser for the master's in psychology, program. And, I've already said oh, you received an email. Welcome, Sharon. So please hang on until the end. I have some information, some good information to give you at the end to share with you, so not my fault if you miss out. Alright? If you can hang in there, hang in. But, anyway, you won't miss out. Just send me an email, and I'll send you if you've had to drop off. But if you have any questions, please just drop them in the chat. I'll do my very best to keep up with them as we move along. But if I miss you, again, I'll say it definitely is not intentional.

0:52I will go through again at the end just to make sure I've caught everything and, respond the best I can. If I can, I will jot your name down and send you an email, the next day and, and answer your question? Alright? And you'll have my email as well. So if you don't feel comfortable using the chat, that's just it's completely fine. Just, send me an email. Alright? It's safe to get started now, and thank you very, very much everybody for joining. Lots of good things to talk about here. So, let me just say that, before we dive in, I want to let you know you may have seen some information about our masters in psychology program and and about it being newly restructured, on social media or even elsewhere.

1:52This is true. I had hoped that the website would have been published by now, but we are still fine tuning just a couple of things on it before it goes live. So at any point, it should go live, and you can see the newly restructured program in its glory. But for now, I will I will give you some some details about it. I'm not at liberty to go into full detail about it, but I can certainly give you a general idea of what's changing and how it might apply to you. Okay? So I'll be walking through the current version as it is on the website right now, and I'll kinda talk about how it integrates the new program integrates with the old. Alright? And so, I should also say that the good news is that, the core program is it's not changing.

2:46It hasn't changed. It's very much still centered on the Catholic Christian understanding of the human person, and it's designed to prepare students to make a real impact in the world. And I'll point out where the updates are coming and, try to answer any questions, that I can to help clarify, what's ahead. Alright? And, I will still talk about the structure of the program as it is now, the admissions requirements, and all of those things. So alright. Just want you to know that behind the scenes, the university is restructuring the program to make it, even more career focused. That's an important thing for us. But, anyway, for now, everything we do discuss today will still give you a strong foundation and, an accurate understanding of the program.

3:41Alrighty? So let's start with a little bit of history. This is where we kinda always start up. So, basically, you know, DMU is a Catholic Christian university. We were founded in 1999. We are on our twenty fifth anniversary right now, so it's a pretty special year for us. The program that you're looking at now launched in 2014. Alright? The, university was founded by a group of psychologists who wanted a more compassionate approach to psychology, that integrated both faith and ethics. And the goal was to make psychology more accessible and to help people flourish both in their personal and their professional lives. We are accredited as you can see down here, the SACSCOC, which is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

4:46It's a mouthful. But, it's basically the gold standard of accreditation here in The US. And that really just means that your education is backed by an institution that meets and continually, continues to meet the, high academic and ethical standards. Alright. So that's just a little bit of history for you. Alright? And I will move right into why the program is unique. And I'm willing to bet for you that, one of the number one reasons we are unique is what brought you here, possibly, I'm willing to bet, right now. And that's the fact that we are built on an integrative approach to psychology that does allow for a deeper understanding of the whole person, with the Catholic Christian vision of the person.

5:42That is definitely by far the number one reason, I think that we're unique. That should be bullet number one. But we are a 100% online program, and what that means for you is that, and this doesn't change. None of these these things are all the same. Right? I'll let you know where changes are going to happen, but so far, this is all the same. 100% online means that it works with your life. All of your commitments, your family, everything you have going on, it's built to work around that. It is a structured program, yet it's flexible enough, so that you can kinda work on your own and still maintain the program, meeting all the the deadlines of the program. Alright? And even though it is 100% online, we are told over and over how, there's a strong sense of community among the cohort.

6:42And a lot of these people, once they graduate, they're still in contact with one another. So I I think that definitely says a lot about a program, when you're you're still maintaining those relationships. Now the sixteen and twenty six month, I will talk about that more in a little bit, but I really wanna talk about these four bullets here. They kind of all link together, and they begin with a small student faculty ratio. And, really, the best way to say it is we have small classes. Alright? Our we keep our classes small. We do that, on purpose, and we do that so that you get personalized is that the right word? That you get personal attention from the from the faculty, and weekly feedback is something, you get weekly feedback from the faculty.

7:45The classes for masters in psychology generally typically run, I'd say, 15 to 20 people, but never more than 30. But I would say 20 is probably the the sweet spot. So the classes are small and we do that on purpose. Alright? Speaking of faculty, our faculty have, doctoral level training, and they also have real world experience with integrating psychology and faith because a lot of them are practicing on their own. They have their own practices and things going on to their teaching, and they are, practice they're in the field doing the thing that they're teaching, so I think that's important as well. Alright. Let's move on here. The benefits of the master's in psychology program. So you can look over these wonderful things here.

8:46You know, there's personal development here, professional development, but the very best thing that I can tell you that is not on this list, is that many of the students, the feedback that we get is that they describe the program as cathartic. The program allowed them to work through personal experiences and unresolved issues from long ago to what's going on in their lives now. And all the while, they are deepening their understanding of the human person. And it's it's kind of a little bit of self care, which if you're getting into the people business and, you self care is important. You can burn yourself out very easily, especially, I mean, if you're an empathetic person. It's it's really easy to burn out.

9:40So you need to have a measure of self care, learning how to care for yourself as you're helping other people so that you can continue on in your mission. And so I think that's one of the most beautiful benefits of the program is that you you do learn a little bit of that. Alright? So moving forward here, this is where we're gonna deviate a little bit. Right? So here are the six concentrations as it shows, on the website. When you go on the website, these are the six concentrations. So, as they existed or as they exist in the current program. So, basically, you see things like human services and the pre PhD, marriage and family studies. So the exciting thing is that DMU has taken all of these things, all of these tracks, and refined them into now two career oriented pathways.

10:46Right? So instead of six, we are going, into two concentrations. Alright? The organizational leadership is one path. The pastoral and spiritual care is the second path. Alright? So this is what's different. Okay? These tracks what do I wanna say tracks? Yeah. So they're really designed to be more streamlined and career focused while still honoring the heart and the depth of the original concentrations that were offered. Alright? So this is not taking anything away from the six as you see them on the website. Alright? They contain they pull together elements. So for instance, for the pastoral and spiritual care is gonna pull elements from, like, the human services, marriage and family, parts of the pre PhD.

11:51And it just gives a clear direction for students drawn to, chaplaincy, caregiving roles, pastoral counseling. Alright? So it's it's a it's a concentration that's designed for those that want to accompany people through suffering, places like, hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, parishes, ministries, really lots of different places, that you can use that one. Now the organizational leadership, draws from what heavily definitely heavily from what was the leadership concentration, self design and even portions of the human services and pre PhD. So this one is ideal for students interested in shaping the culture and improving systems through a psychological lens. Now I can also say, not I don't wanna talk here.

12:56So you can use this in nonprofit leadership, for profit leadership, school administration, HR development, organizational training. So I should also state that with the organizational leadership, this one is going to sorry about that. Okay. This one is I have a note here. I don't wanna miss anything. So I did take notes. Forgive me. But my memory these days, you know, this one supports people that are pursuing the SHRM certification or recertification. So if you don't know what that is, it's the Society for Human Resource Management. It's the most, recognized credentials for those in HR or, management and organizational leadership. Alright? It's a pretty big certification. So, I should also say that the pastoral and spiritual care, that one is going to support those pursuing the chaplaincy certification through organizations like the n a c NACC, which is the National Association of Catholic Chaplains, or the BCCI, which is the board of Chaplaincy Certification Inc.

14:31Alright? So two new concentrations, and they also will help to lead to certifications. So, that much I can tell you. That's your sneak peek. Alright? These are the concentrations as they are. Let's look at these core courses because, again, what I wanna say about these is that they're not going away. And in fact, these were the eight courses that made up the foundation of each of those six concentrations that we had. So regardless of which concentration you were focusing in on, these eight courses were the foundation. And what separated, I can even show you here. What separated each, concentration were the electives. This is what differentiated each concentration one from the other. Leadership was, you know, had leadership courses and the same thing with marriage and family.

15:42Alright? So but these eight classes remained the same. So with the two new concentrations, I can tell you that four of these will remain as a foundation to those as well. Alright? The helping people flourish, this course is the first course that is taken, in the old program and with the new one. It'll be the first class that you take. Alright? It's taken by itself, and it's the first one. So when you start in fall, that will be the class you start with. Alright? And that one that you're gonna discover how psychology and faith basically come together to explore human dignity, well-being, and flourishing through the Catholic Christian, perspective. Alright? Another one let me see. The human growth and development across the lifespan, I believe this is another core class, and that one is, you're gonna gain a deeper understanding of how people grow, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, from infancy all the way up to older age.

16:58Alright? Cognition, emotion, and motivation, I believe that one is the third that's going to carry over and be, a foundation course. That one is the fun one because you're gonna take a deep dive into how the mind works. How we think, process emotions, and what truly drives human behavior. I would love to know that. So and then, I believe the fourth one is the Catholic Christian vision of flourishing. Alright? And so that course, examines how faith, virtue, and a sense of calling shape meaningful life, applying these insights to psychology and service. Alright? So those four classes are going to carry over. So the two new concentrations are gonna have those four classes. Now the remaining of these are not going away at all.

17:52What it is is that they will be integrated, some of them combined, reframed. They're going to be in there. They're just gonna look a little bit different. Alright? So we're not losing anything. It's restructured. Okay? So, you know, the courses may have different slight different names that may shift a little bit, but it it's basically it's the same. Now you might wanna know the reason why why they were thinking about doing this, and that's because out of those six electives or six electives, the six concentrations, not all of those had, not all of those carried the weight. You know, some of them people would get into, and it was it was easy for them to get into. It made sense for them, but then there were some that they didn't they weren't as popular, I guess.

18:57And so, I think just trying to look at resources and and, restructure it so that it makes sense into two different areas that people really tended to gravitate towards if that if that helps. Alright. I see we have no questions yet. Y'all are still with me. Okay. I'm glad if you are. Thank you. So let me show you here where this, degree can open doors for you that has the possibility of open doors for you. Thank you. So, you know that we are a master's in psychology degree, so it would make sense that you could use this degree to open doors for you in the in the mental health and service positions. Makes complete sense. And the fact that we are a Catholic Christian university, then that would make sense that it would open doors for you in the ministry.

20:01Right? So this degree is is pretty diverse because it could also open doors for you in areas that maybe you weren't even thinking about. So that's what this middle column here is for. There may be some interesting things here that you you just hadn't thought of that this degree could be the key to opening for you. Criminal profiling would be a really fun one, I think. So, just demonstrating the diversity of this degree. It can definitely open doors for many possibilities for you. Alright? And here oh, my goodness. Sorry about that. So just demonstrating that you could take this degree and go off into the corporate world. Right? I always say that, before I was here at DMU, I was in the corporate world.

20:59And I can tell you, 100% certain, everybody there needs God, faith, and psychology. So, this is good. It's just demonstrating that, you know, there are many places that you could go and, your degree could open the door for. No. I'm sorry, Barbara. The this program does not, lead to licensure. We have a master's in counseling program that does lead to licensure. And if you are at the end, I will post the contact information for the admissions advisers for that program so that you can talk to them. And, but, no, this is a master's degree. But, also, you know, it doesn't lead to licensure, but like I said, there are many areas. Now you could go into grief and loss, counseling if it's nonlicensed.

22:02Alright. I think, like, the biggest differentiator here between this program and the masters in counseling that does lead to licensure is that you cannot diagnose and and treat mental health issues. Alright? So this is kind of before that. You're kind of hitting people before they need to go into a clinic and they need to be treated. A lot of the places that you can go with your concentration, you can do very similar work, non licensed work. Alright? If you are interested in clinical work, then you certainly wanna check out the master's in counseling. That is very clinical. It's a four year long program. I won't talk much into that. That's not my expert area. Could you be a school counselor?

23:02Yes. It it could lead to school counseling. Okay. Alright, Barbara. Let me see. How about right now, I get you the contact information for the two admissions, advisors, and there you go. So definitely reach out, and I'm not offended. We're all we're all the same schools, so we just wanna make sure that you find the fit for you. And, you're welcome. Hope to see you around regardless whether it's this program or that one. We're just you know, we're all one happy family, so it's okay. Alright. So now we're gonna go into some of the, you know, the logistical parts of this program. We already said that it is a 100% online program. We have asynchronous classes, and what that means is that you don't have to be in front of your computer, you know, Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 8AM.

24:19You don't have to do that. You basically learn when you can learn. So if it's when the children are napping or when everybody's down asleep for the night, you can you can log in to your classes, and you have the ability to work anytime, anywhere, just as it says. Can I continue with the program as I was already in the program and stopped? We can talk about that. I can talk about that with you, Angie. Certainly, let's talk about that. I'll follow-up with you. No doubt. Okay. And thank you for your question. I can help out with that. You're welcome. Alright. So, basically, if you have Wi Fi, you can take your computer and go down the street to a coffee shop and sit there and take in a lecture.

25:13Or, you can you know, we have discussion boards. If anybody so I don't know how many are not familiar with online learning, but, you know, typically, how it goes is, you know, you get your assignments and your your weekly assignments and your lectures and readings, and all of those things are housed in the platform that we use. It's Canvas. Alright? So everything that you need, and you don't have to pay for course materials. But so everything you need that week for your courses are gonna be in that spot. So, one of the things that you typically will have to do is a discussion board. And so I apologize if if most of you you know this already. But, anyway, the after you're reading, after you're listening to the lecture, the professor will post a question to to the cohort, and you will respond to that in a in a forum type of a thing.

26:15And then, usually, you'll respond to a couple of other, cohort members as well. And so, anyway, all of these things are located in Canvas. Alright? Five sensory learning points just to let you know that, not everybody we appreciate that not everybody learns in the same way. Some people can hear something and and remember it and learn it. Some people have to read it. And so we just want you to know that we have the tools available so that you are able to learn in the way that makes sense for you. Alright? And then there, again, the weekly individualized feedback. It's a thing. It really is. You can't hide in the small classes. So I hope that's okay. It's actually wonderful. I went to a different online university for my graduate program, and I didn't know who my cohort members were.

27:14And I certainly didn't have a lot of feedback from the professors, so this is pretty special. Alright. Now we are going to go into the real nuts and bolts of it, and I apologize. These numbers are right right now, but they are for the '25, '20 six year. They've changed a little bit. They've increased slightly, and I don't have that slide. So I am sorry, but this is what it is at the moment, I believe. Alright? And this is a 33 program, alright, which consists of 11 classes. Alright? There's a technology fee tacked onto each class, and so that's for platform access and our support support help, and they're wonderful. Honestly, that right there is worth its weight in gold for me because I'm one of those tech people that just I'm gonna be all over this.

28:17So, anyway, so there's that. You'll notice there's a residency fee, and that is because there is a residency that will take place. It is in the seventh week of classes. It's in that first class. Remember, the first one that everybody takes at the same time by itself, the PSI five fifty. So it's in that class, the seventh week. It is a Friday and a Saturday. And don't worry. You don't have to go to Virginia. It's it's online. So you'll be in a Zoom classroom with your cohort and the professors. And, so, basically, that is the residency. And I heard that it is a really nice respite. So you at this point, you're in your seventh week of classes. You've been going forward with your discussion boards and your papers or, assignments, and so this is just a nice little break from that.

29:12Alright? So that is in the seventh week. Alright? This is the bottom line, and I can tell you the bottom line. People don't pay that, honestly, because there are, well, you'll see why. Alright. So let's just say because we are a an accredited university, we do have the federal student aid if you wanted to go that route. Right? You are gonna wanna have conversation possibly with your employer to see if they have employee tuition reimbursement. Alright? This is a benefit that a lot of businesses have. So you do wanna you wanna check into that. Alright? We are an approved we have veterans funding. We are a yellow ribbon school. Here's where I wanna get into this other stuff here, the scholarships and grants.

30:08Okay? This is why people don't pay that bottom line. If you go we're gonna go on a field trip. If you go to the main page here, right, and you go to financial aid, go to the scholarship tab. Alright? This is a listing of all the scholarships and grants that we have in house. This is what we we have. There's a whole list of things here. Some of them are more competitive, like the merit based scholarship is you can get up to 50% off. Alright? It varies, but it's a competitive, scholarship. You wanna apply for that as soon as you know that you are interested and you're moving forward. But there's literally something for everybody here. Alright? And then also pay attention to this tuition partnership.

31:03Okay? If we go here, there are those in our university that have spent a lots of time and years of their time forming affiliations with different schools and organizations and diocese. And so this is only this is only a partial list. Financial aid has the exhaustive list, but this is a good sampling here. If you see any any affiliations that you have, say you're with Focus, or, you know, you're with Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College, you wanna mention this, in your financial aid meeting. Okay? So let me go back here. You will get a financial aid a one on one financial aid meeting. Alright? After you finish your application, but before you you sign in to anything, you you kinda wanna know it at that point anyway where you are, as far as, you know, tuition.

32:08So it'll happen pretty early on. But, what I would say is that our financial aid office is there to guide you through the process. Alright? And so the one on one meeting is is important. Once you complete your application, it's gonna trigger them to set up the one on one meeting where you can ask questions and receive personalized guidance. Right? So I'm gonna say that it's always the most helpful thing when you go into that conversation, and have a few things ready, and that's, your FAFSA if you're eligible and you're you're doing that. The affiliations that I just showed you, any of the affiliations that you have, you wanna go in with that. These connections all can sometimes have or open the door, to scholarship or tuition partnerships that we you're gonna see each one of these basically has a discount.

33:10It's the best way to say it. Alright? So you wanna go into that meeting and have your information lined up. You tell them, okay. Yes. I'm affiliated with such and such a a school. Just you wanna let them know. And then have your questions ready, everything that you need, for them to help you. Alright? Also, you want to talk to your parish if you go to a Catholic church. There's so much available for you if you go to a Catholic church education wise, and it is worth the conversation. If anybody needs help, and you don't know who to contact, in your diocese or your parish, let me know. I do have an informational reference sheet put together for you to know who to reach out to to ask about these educational, the educational help that's available to you that you're probably not even aware of.

34:05Things like, the Knights of Columbus. That's only one that comes to mind, but there are so many other, things available for you. Alright? Cash plans. Alright? These are interest free. It's kinda set up like a loan month to month. It kinda breaks down that that number to where it's more manageable. Alright? So that is something that is helpful as well. Okay? Now I told you we were gonna talk about the sixteen and twenty six month. Now we are. Okay. So two different ways for you to go about this education. The traditional scenic route, which is the twenty six month. Right? You take your time. It's one class at a time. Nice and easy pace. Alright? Like I said, you're taking one class at a time.

35:03This is pretty much standard of most graduate programs is roughly around that two year mark. So then we have the fast track, the sixteen month. Alright? This one knocks off some of the tuition, and, again, this number is gonna be slightly different, moving forward into the twenty five, twenty six. So, the sixteen month, what does that look like? Alright. You're taking two classes at a time, and let me say let me start. We have three starts. Maybe I should have started out this way. So we start fall, spring, or summer. Alright? Fall and spring are gonna be your sixteen week semesters. Alright? That sixteen week semester is broken into two eight week terms. Alright? So for the first term, you're gonna be taking two classes.

35:56That term ends. Those classes end. Term two starts, you're taking two more classes. Alright? So, essentially, you're taking four classes in the sixteen week semester. Alright? Except for summer. Summer is always gonna be an eight week abbreviated session. So, you'll be taking two classes during that eight weeks. Okay? Now what does that mean work wise? So one class can take you anywhere from eight to fifteen hours a week in time commitment. That is including your reading, your lectures, assignments, anything like that. And I know that that's a broad scope of time there, but, the reason being is that some people are gonna progress through the material quicker than other people. They might have, psychology classes under their belt, and so they may move through.

36:57Some people might have the experience. They're in the field. They're doing the thing, and so they may move through quicker. So that's why it's, like, such a a gap there, eight to fifteen hours. So that's one class. And if you take the sixteen month, you're gonna double that. So I hope that helps. This is not impossible. Alright? It's definitely we would never set you up for impossible. We have lots of people that go through this successfully. It is kind of like a budget. Right? When you get a new car or a new home, you first get into that, it feels like, you know, constrictive. But you kinda shift things around and set priorities, and it's very much the same thing. You just reprioritize things in your life, and you just make it work.

37:47You know, if you wanna do it, you will. So that's my note on that. Alright. And now we are going to get into the requirements, and these are pretty straightforward. I do have one note on here that is not included that I have to tell you about. So we need your transcripts from your bachelor's degree with at least a 2.5 GPA. Alright? Two recommendation requests, please. Please have four or five because, for whatever reason, sometimes your first two forget about you. It's true. I don't know if the link gets lost in in the email. I'm not sure, but it happens and, maybe people get busy, and that's fine. But, literally, all this is is ten to twenty minutes of a commitment for them. They will get a link.

38:40They click the link and it opens up a form. And the form are many assorted questions about you, and they rate you on a scale of one to five. You know? How long have you known, Sarah? Things like that and, different things that you're you're good at and, so they rate you. And then there are a few places for comments, but that is literally the extent of it. I think some people might see this and freak out and think, oh, I have to generate a letter. You don't. They don't. But, it is very straightforward and very easy. It's not a huge time commitment for them. So but saying that, you should have you should have backup just in case. You don't you know, we don't want your application held up. And, the next thing is a current resume.

39:35And then a written statement of intent, which is basically a 500 word essay, and you're gonna take that time. It's it's think of it like a cover letter to the program director stating what it is that your what your mission is. What are you doing with this degree? How does the program line up with that mission? And if you need more guidance on that, I have that as well. So, a TOEFL where applicable. This is a, for non native English speaking individuals. Alright? The newest thing that we're adding in to our fall and beyond, requirements are the group interview. So you will have the opportunity to meet with the program director and a few, a few, a few professors, and then you'll have a few of your peers along in that meeting.

40:39And it's a really good time for them to get to know you and for you to get to know them and ask all of your questions. And, anyway, so that is gonna be new, and we have more information on that as well. But that should be in here, and, I'll add it in. And then once all of that has been complete, the last requirement is mandatory virtual orientation, which takes place before classes start. Alright? And that is it in a nutshell. Alright? It's it's not so scary. So those that have held on, thank you. Thank you for doing that. Basically, what I want to do now, these four questions, I want you to just look over those and kind of, you know, kinda gauge where you are with yourself. You know? If you're sitting here and you're thinking this program really aligns with my goals and, you can make it work with your schedule and, especially with the support that we offer, we do have a lot of support to offer, you as you move through.

41:59And if you feel confident that you can afford, moving through and finish strong, then definitely, I want you to let's see. I want you to use this link here. I'm gonna post it in the chat. It is the link for the application. I would love to see you, move through. Now as a thank you for you, for spending your time with me. Right? Here is a code that you plug into when you get to the part of the application. It talks about the the application fee. Plug that code in there, and it will waive that. Alright? So that's my thank you for sitting here with me and spending your time, especially especially Ghana. If Ghana is still here, Paul from Ghana. My goodness. It's just almost 11:30 there. So if you're still there, please use that link.

43:05Also, I wanna tell you that, July 1, if you have your application in by July 1, we have an early, application scholarship. It's worth $1,500. So this is a scholarship that you don't even have to do anything for other than your application. And that is not with the recommendations, and it's not including the transcript because those are external, and we can't we can't do anything about about that. But you have your application in by July 1. That will be applied, and, that's taken off of your tuition. So every little bit helps, and you are very welcome welcome, Joscely. I can't email Emily. I'm sorry. I can't email the slides. I can I can do screenshots of some that you're interested in? If you tell me what it was that was kind of, capturing your interest, I can do that.

44:10And, also, if anybody has, questions that you didn't wanna put in the chat, here's my email. This is my direct line. You can even send a text. Alright? Email me your questions or text them, and, I'll respond that way. Some people are a little shy. I understand that. I am too, believe it or not. So, thank you, Emily, for your email. I have that captured. And, yes, I can email any screenshots that you you might want, maybe the job, the positions, but whatever. Let's see what else. If anybody would like to set up time here and you wanna do a Zoom call, some people are more comfortable doing a Zoom call. Here's my calendar link. You can set up some time, and we can go through anything that you wanted clarification on or further information.

45:16I'm happy to do that for you. If, let me see. I think that's it. But, anyway, thank you all so much for spending your time. I really appreciate it. Thanks for hanging in there. And, again, reach out with your questions if you have them. And other than that, I'm gonna look for your application for fall, which starts August 20. Right? So that's coming up. Remember the July 1 date, the deadline for the early admission scholarship, and I think that's it. Did anybody have any questions that I can answer now? You are all very quiet tonight. So and that's fine. That's okay. Like I said, you can send them in an email if you prefer to do that, but I'm here for another couple of minutes if you want. I'll hang on and see if anybody has any questions.

46:21And let me see what else can I what else can I pass on to you? I think that was about it. But thank you again, everybody. Any questions? I hope that you you're welcome. Great. I hope so, Emily. Thank you. Transfer credits from other grad programs. We do. Now that is something the registrar will go through and look at. So if you have, just for kicks and giggles, you have an unofficial transcript. We can see what it is that they will transfer over. Thank you for that question. Yep. Alright. Again, take my email down. If you want to send me, an unofficial transcript, I can go, and and check with registrar about that for you. And, then you can know ahead of time. Sure. No problem. No problem. Wow.

47:46We finished early. I'm almost thinking, did I forget something? I don't think so, but just seems a little earlier than normal. But that's good. Now you get your time back. Alright. So there are five attendees left. Is there anything that I can help answer for you? Anything that you want clarification on, you want more information on? Alright. Alright. Well, with that, I'm gonna sign off. Again, thank you very, very much. And, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you guys or seeing you come through. And, other than that, I hope you have a lovely evening, and, take care. Alright? Bye.
