Candidates can register for these courses during the Fall, Spring, or Summer term and can work at their own pace, but must complete each course in one academic semester (15 weeks). Due to the time commitment required to complete coursework while teaching, we recommend taking no more than two courses in the fall and spring, but you can take more in the summer if your schedule allows. Courses in this program were designed and approved specifically for this program, so unfortunately, they cannot be used towards a master's degree.
