A Results-Oriented Format

The program's design supports incremental learning. The one-course-at-a-time format does not force students to divide their attention among several courses. Because this ten-month program employs a blended (face-to-face and online) format, time in class is used to focus on application of information being presented. Each class meeting is purposely designed with takeaways that students can immediately incorporate into their work.
