Students can take up to two courses every eight weeks, averaging four courses in one traditional semester. The compressed format allows students to complete a 36-hour program in a year, while the average time it takes to complete a master’s program through the traditional on-campus learning experience is 18-24 months.

The program is geared towards working adults or those that are motivated by focused, intensive learning experiences, and who need convenience and flexibility.

Students can enroll in a new class every eight weeks, or can take a break before continuing the program. The 2013 program begins Jan. 14. Classes are offered every eight weeks with five available start dates.

Faculty who facilitate traditional 16-week courses also facilitate coursework for the Accelerated Online Program.
