The IIRP offers a one-year FastTrack master's degree program for full-time students in either the MRPE or MRPYC programs. The one-year cycle will begin in July of each year and be completed the next year by the end of June.
The FastTrack program is an intensive experience that includes full-time academic study coupled with part-time non-paid internships working in the restorative milieu of the IIRP's demonstration programs: CSF Buxmont schools, group homes, supervision and drug-and-alcohol treatment programs. (Students may opt to find their own part-time teaching or counseling work settings.)
