Year-Round, 14-week Session Calendar
Year-Round, 14-week Session Calendar
Courses in the online graduate programs listed below follow a year-round, 14-week session calendar. Students in these programs are expected to maintain year-round enrollment in Fall, Spring, and Summer. If you are in one of the programs listed below, your program follows a modified session schedule that runs 14 weeks and provides 13 weeks of content. Your first day of classes and last day of classes are different from traditional residential courses.
Online courses following the year-round, 14-week session (U10/G10) calendar are listed in the course directory with a single day and time, which reflects a live synchronous session schedule. While the session lasts 14 weeks, courses have 13 weeks of content to accommodate a bye week determined by the alignment of a day off and the scheduled synchronous session. Each of the 13 weeks for a 3-hour course provides students with 180 minutes of contact time per week, a total of 2340 minutes of contact time, including the final examination.
Academic programs that follow the 14-week session calendar are:
- Online Master of Applied Data Science from the School of Data Science and Society
