I suggest asking Walruspanda in that thread or via PM for clarification on how the master's ExcelTrack works.

Yeah, with ExcelTrack, the number of modules you can complete in a term is largely a product of the work that you put into it, along with the prior knowledge you have. For both the BSIT and the MSIT, I averaged about 5 modules a week, only slowing down when I got to the point where I didn't have much in the way of modules to complete anymore. If you're very motivated and willing to put in the work, ignore the PUG advisor -- whatever schedule they set for you is rather meaningless in ExcelTrack, because it's all down to you completing modules. 

Keep in mind that the MBA capstone has to be taken as a traditional course, and while it can be taken with a few modules as well, PUG likely won't let you take it if you have, say, 20 modules left to complete. So if you want to finish in three terms, you should attempt to get 50 or more modules done in the first two terms, then take 6 or so modules along with the capstone in the last term. It is probably possible to do the MBA in two terms, and you can aim for that if you want...but with having three terms as a backup plan. (What helped me finish the MSIT in two terms is that I brought in 28 credits from the BSIT and IT certs.) 

Please ask if you have any other ExcelTrack questions! I had a very positive experience with PUG and ExcelTrack, and I do recommend it to highly motivated students who don't mind a zillion writing assignments.
