We offer several different course formats within our traditional fall, spring, and summer semesters - formats include in-person, condensed weekend, and online courses.
Candidates are on-campus 4 days a week taking in-person courses through the first year of the program. The second year of coursework allows candidates to add more flexibility with weeknight, weekend, and online courses, but candidates will primarily still be on-campus during the weekdays.
