Graduate in 2 Years

You have flexibility in scheduling your courses. If you choose to study at an accelerated pace, you can earn your degree in 5 semesters or less than 2 years. You may take up to 9 credits per semester, the number limited only by any policies put into effect by your employer. If you are an employee of Rolls-Royce or AMEC, please contact your program coordinator if you have questions regarding the number of courses you may take per semester.

You can complete 24 credits of course work in a calendar year by taking 3 courses in your first 2 semesters and 2 courses in your third semester.
