- Courses are 8 weeks in length. Courses that have a class session canceled due to a university holiday may be extended by one week or have a make-up class assigned. For each 8-week course, you should plan on at least 10-15 hours per week of study and coursework. This will vary weekly depending on exams, presentations, team assignments, and your previous experience with the subject.
- All courses require attendance at live sessions:
- Online courses: Live sessions via Zoom, plus asynchronous online content.
- In-person courses: Live sessions in-person, plus asynchronous online content. Some courses may alternate between live in-person sessions and Zoom sessions—see the schedule for details.
- For Summer 2026, the 4-week accelerated course MGMT:9230:0EXO, Managing and Preventing Conflict, may be taken concurrently with an 8-week course, except for a Monday or Thursday night course.
