Courses run 15 weeks during the Spring and Fall semesters, and 8 weeks during the Summer semester. Courses are taught in two modalities at the Chicago campus:

• Weekly - Monday through Thursday, morning, early afternoon, or evening each week.
• Executive-style blended – meeting one day (Saturday or Sunday) per month with online assignments and brief remote meetings in between.
