Program Structure

The program is designed within a sequenced learning path including a predefined order of courses. As the student completes one course, access is granted to the next one. All of the courses structured in this path are compulsory and the student has to finish one course at a time. This allows students to gain knowledge sequentially and apply it immediately. This experiential learning approach increases information retention and eventually, execution. The learning path helps students’ understanding of what is expected of them and their preparation. It also facilitates gathering timely feedback that increases the effectiveness of learning. Researchers show that this holistic experience is vital in adult students’ engagement and achievement.

The program consists of 4 semesters and each semester includes 3 courses except the final semester that covers capstone project progress. All courses are scheduled for 4 weeks within a final course project.
