I know this thread is a couple months old, but thought I'd bump it up since I just got accepted into the program last month. First degree-specific classes (4 of them) begin in January 2015. The EE and engineering-specific courses will be offered January, May & September 2015. The program director, Dr. Colin Doyle, has responded within a few hours each time I've had questions for him. The credits are very cheap, but there's a significant investment for equipment, since you do the labs at home. For the 4 January classes, it's over $3K (fortunately the equipment is useful for the whole course of study). In total, Dr. Doyle says it will be over $12K for equipment/software. APU/AMU do have a book grant, so most texts are included with the tuition, but this equipment is not covered in that grant. Dr. Doyle is also organizing a student IEEE chapter.
ETA - Also, there are 3 concentrations - General EE, Communications, & Mechantronic Systems. (I'm Mech.) Dr. Doyle did a YouTube video introducing the program. He talks with excitement about one of the Comms projects, building a working radar system. Fun!
