Guide to Course Formats

We offer a variety of course formats that allow students to
customize their programs to fit into their complex lives.

12-week courses

Campus:
Meet every week at one of our four campus locations for face-to-face contact with students and instructors.

Online:
Lectures, lessons, and exercises are completed online over the course of a twelve-week term, allowing students from in or outside of Boston to learn on their own time from the comfort of their own homes.

Hybrid:
Classes meet on campus six times during the term with the rest of the learning delivered and completed online. See individual course schedules for class meeting times.

6-week courses
