Class Formats

Courses are typically offered in 8-week terms. There are two (2) eight-week sessions of classes available to students in each semester, including summer. Students may select from courses offered on weeknights and some limited Saturday and online classes. Some majors may include courses that are taught only in a 15-week format.

Adult Degree Program classes are designed for the working adult to facilitate completion of a bachelor's degree. ADP classes make it possible for students to achieve full-time status (i.e., enrolled in 12 credit hours or more in a semester).
