Program duration
Full-time students can earn a Bachelor degree in 27 to 36 months (9 quarters of 20 credits each, or 12 quarters of 15 credits each), depending on the number of courses attempted per quarter, the course selection, and the course planning; completing half the typical number of courses equals twice the duration of the full-time program. The more flexible the working hours, the more courses will be available to finish faster. Students are considered part-time while attempting 14 or fewer credits per quarter. Part-time studies are available only for students with a national passport or residence permit.
