A note about summer semesters

Completing an intensive summer graduate course requires approximately 50-60 hours per week. Be prepared for a full-time commitment.

You are responsible for in-person or synchronous virtual class meetings, independent work, small-group discussions, and individual conferences.

While independent assignments have flexibility, the compressed nature of these courses requires fast turnaround and precise sequencing.
