I will note, however, that there is definitely something to be said for being able to take one class at a time and focusing all your attention on it, which you cannot do here if you want to graduate within a reasonable timeframe, rather than being mentally spread over multiple subjects. I wouldn't pick a different grad school. I love the small class sizes (between eight and ten) and, as I said, the professors seem to actually care, and they're good at what they do, but (at least right now) I do wish I could take one or two classes at a time over seven- or eight-week terms rather than three classes over a sixteen-week semester. I think I'd feel much less scattered. But that might just be me and the way my mind works.

There is someone I have had a few classes with at Amberton who is working on their master's 1 class at a time. He's already 2 years in and has another year to go.....3 years for 36 credits sounds like an eternity after UMPI. I get it since he's working and doesn't have the time, but man that UMPI formula really is hard to beat! I also somewhat miss just taking 1 class at a time and focusing on that one and then moving on to the next. Bouncing back and forth can be confusing at times as many classes in my program discuss similar topics.
