Program Format
The specialty Hybrid Weekend Program at the School of Accelerated Degree Programs offers challenging coursework, exceptional faculty and an accelerated format that allows working adults to earn a graduate degree in as little as 24 months. Our program allows students to earn their degree and advance their career while they continue working and managing other responsibilities. Our graduate technology programs offer relevant coursework in a condensed, convenient format that will help launch students into the next phase of a successful career.
The Hybrid Weekend Program is based on cohorts and comprised of three 14-week trimester terms per year for each cohort. Each term students will enroll in a cluster of two interrelated courses with a cohort for a total of six credit hours. A highly qualified instructor will teach classes for eight hours one Saturday each month, and students will also complete weekly online assignments. Small class sizes during the Saturday meetings offer personalized attention and a challenging learning environment specially designed for working adults. Co-curricular employment is an integral learning component of the program. This means that in addition to earning a degree, students will also be gaining valuable real-world experience on how the contents of the coursework apply in the real world. If students are employed before joining the program, they will have the opportunity to take their performance and career to the next level by directly applying what they gain from the coursework to their projects at work.
