Sample Schedules
College of Professional Studies programs are built for busy adults.
With our flexible course schedules, you decide how many courses you wish to take each term, which determines how quickly you finish your program. Want to finish your master’s degree in 18 months? No problem – take two courses per term and graduate in 1.5 years.
If you want to go more slowly, you can take one course per term – it’s entirely up to you.
By giving you the choice of how many courses you take per term, you fit your education around your life. If a big life event happens, such as getting married, starting a new job, or having a baby, you can take off a term or two and return without missing a beat!
