Schedule
What courses can you take when?
All courses and proseminars are held on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays. All courses are one-unit courses, for 15 class-time hours. Each course is divided into two 1-day sessions, each session scheduled two weeks apart on two Saturdays OR on two Sundays. Each of the two 1-day sessions is 7.5 hours, with a scheduled one-hour break: 09:00-12:30, 13:30-17:30. Other breaks are at the discretion of faculty.
Scheduling coursework is flexible. Students may take any number of units, ranging from four to 12 per trimester. We recommend that courses be taken in the suggested sequence, although part time students make take courses in a sequence convenient to their own busy work schedules; some courses, however, require prerequisites, as shown below.
Scheduling flexibility means that part time students can (a) spread out their course schedule and arrange it in a more evenly distributed manner, rather than taking courses in concentrated clumps as would be required if following the recommended sequence, (b) free up specific Saturdays or Sundays for other important commitments, (c) take a variable number of courses per trimester based on professional workload or other considerations, e.g., switch from six units in a trimester to nine in the next, and (d) sign up for more courses at any time during an ongoing trimester.
