How long will it take me to complete the degree?

We will offer 3-4 courses per academic cycle (Fall, Spring, Summer) per year beginning Fall 2009. During Summer 2009, we are offering 2 courses. The MA in Spanish Online requires 36 graduate-level credits. Our courses are 3 credits each. So, if a student is able to take 2 courses per cycle, they could finish in 2 complete years (that is 18 credits per year, 6 per academic cycle). It is possible to take only 1 course per cycle (which would extend the program), or 3 courses per cycle (which would shorten the program). The beauty of the online program is that it is as flexible as you need it to be. But, we have designed it thinking that most students would do 2 courses per cycle.
