Program Length
You can adjust the length of the program by how you schedule your elective courses.
- Graduate in 33 months. About 20% of our students consistently take six semester hours each fall, spring and summer to graduate in 33 months.
- Graduate in 24 or 28 months. About 80% of our students take electives in the winter and spring intersession semesters and/or take additional electives during a regular semester to graduate earlier. These options do require diligence and will reduce your elective choices.
