Degree Plans
Our full-time students typically complete the program in two semesters. Part-time students may register for fewer than 12 credits per semester, and have up to three years to complete the program.
Our program charges a full-time, per-semester flat rate for students taking 12 credits or more in a semester, and a part-time, per-credit rate for students taking fewer than 12 credits.
