Summer and Winter Course Offering Schedule

Our modules will be offered every summer and winter. Since different courses will be offered during the two semesters, students can make fast progress on the degree. At the same time, the course offerings provide students a wide variety of choices to accommodate their schedules. It is best to plan your entire program from the beginning in order to accomplish your degree as quickly as possible and to ensure that course offerings and your proposed schedule match.

Summer Semester: Each summer there will be several classes available. Syllabi for the summer will be available on May 1. The six weeks of pre-course work will begin approximately May 15. Internal residency weeks will occur in late June and early July. Each summer course will end approximately September 15. It should be noted that the professor for each course will be given some level of flexibility in his or her course schedule. Please see the syllabi for details regarding your course requirements.

Winter Semester: Each winter there will be two weeks of MABC courses offered. Syllabi for the winter courses will be available November 1 with the six weeks of pre-course work beginning in mid-November. The internal residency weeks will occur in mid-January and the semester will conclude around the end of March. As always, professors have some flexibility regarding the dates and assignments for the particular courses taught.

Sample Class Schedule

Each course will have approximately 35 hours of instruction and directed assignments for each internal residency. The sample schedule below includes 31 hours of instruction plus four hours of directed evening assignments. While the professor of the course will ultimately set the schedule a sample residency week would be as follows:
