Programs
The majority of the students in this program are working adults who choose to take one or two classes each quarter. During the summer quarter, teachers frequently are able to take additional courses. For all part-time students, the time required to complete the program will relate directly to the number of courses that their work schedule will allow. For a full-time student, the program typically requires a minimum of two years for completion.
