The Curriculum

 

The Curriculum consists of 63 units. Students go at their own pace and graduate from the program in three to five years. All students meet with their advisors throughout the program and can make adjustments to their study plan as needed.

Below are typical schedules and many of the courses may be taken in a slightly different order. Sections often fill quickly, and students may need to work with their advisor when they are unable to get into a particular class during registration. We have a limited number of spots where students can take an accelerated pace to complete the program in three years.
