I believe it's best to just complete the one or two courses per term, so that would be 6 courses a year, 12 total. I forget how many courses they have now, he sent me two pdf files and I just skimmed through it... one was the application and the other was the program info...
They have 7 week courses, and may add additional courses off the catalogue schedule depending on demand, like a second summer session they are looking at now. You can take more than one course at a time if you wish. Doing so will certainly allow you to complete the program quicker. Doing it a course at a time with extra sessions, doing two now and then or IS, if is very possible to complete in 18 months, and doing in a year is doable if you take 2-3 courses at the same time if you so desire and have the bandwidth. They will also consider requests to do courses as "independent study" if life doesn't make the normal weekly zoom sessions (once or twice a week depending on course, 6-9 pm) possible.
They will consider work experience and/or other grad courses for up to 9 CH of the 36 needed. I will be looking at that as I have a fair amount of experience in business in some of the courses offered. Then again, I may not if I enjoy the courses and style at the school because I am doing this for learning more than a check box degree, and you can always learn something, especially with an open mind on subjects you think you know.
Their responsiveness is astounding and I am really looking forward to the program, I am starting the second spring semester on March 29th.
On another note, everyone keeps using "he" for Dean Martin, she isn't a he.. just saying.
