Student-Centered Schedules

The curriculum was designed to be accessible to students around the world. It is offered on- campus or online, with classes starting either in January, May, or September. Full-time, part-time and asynchronous attendance options are also available. However, we do recommend that students strongly consider the in-person, full-time option, as that will allow you to focus completely on your studies and best prepare you to successfully navigate and complete the program.
