Most courses are built upon foundations which presume previous knowledge and skills.

Our plans of study do allow for completion in a two year period. However, students can take more time to complete a degree. Each student has widely varying family, work and other responsibilities, so only you can determine how long it will take you to complete the required coursework for the program you select.
Our curriculums (or plans of study) change periodically. When students enroll in one of our plans of study, they are required to commit the current catalog of courses. If a plan of study changes, the student has the option to stay with their original plan or change to the new one. Your academic advisor can help you decide which plan would be the most advantageous for you.
Courses are offered in traditional face to face formats, live online requiring virtual meetings, or asynchronous distance learning where no meetings are required. The format of a particular course may vary depending on the content, number of sections offered, and testing requirements. Please review the semester course schedule for the most current offerings and modalities.
Be sure to work with your academic advisor as you progress through your program. Academic Advisors can review your progress and check to make sure you have met all program requirement to graduate. Graduation applications have varying dates each semester but generally must be submitted during the first weeks of the semester prior to your graduation.
