The program offers an efficient schedule that can be completed in 23 months, with a hybrid format combining in-person classes on campus with classes that can be accessed online. In each academic quarter, students take two courses on Saturdays (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), in addition to their online coursework. In the first portion of the 48-unit program, participants will learn and reinforce key functional concepts and develop critical thinking skills through a set of discipline-based courses.
