Flexible program schedules

 Students may follow a:

• part-time Regular path 
• full-time Accelerated path (Summer intake only)
• a mix of both the Regular and Accelerated paths

Time to completion

Students can complete the program in as little as 15 months (four terms), but have four years (12 terms) to complete the program.

Each course is worth four credits. Part-time students can take one or two courses per term.

• Students starting in the Summer who take two courses per term and may complete the program in four terms. 
• Students staring in the Fall who take two courses per term and may complete the program in six terms. 
• Students starting in the Winter who take two courses per term and may complete the program in five terms.

International students must possess a Canadian work permit in order to pursue the program, given the part-time nature of the Regular path and the leave of absence incorporated into the Accelerated path. If you are an international student, please contact an advisor at Concordia University's International Students Office to review your eligibility by email at iso@concordia.ca.

Class schedule

During the Fall and Winter terms, classes in the Regular path are typically held on Monday to Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m over 13 weeks. Friday classes may be scheduled, if necessary.

During the Summer term, classes in the Regular path are typically held on Monday to Thursday evenings from 6 to 10 p.m over 10 weeks.

Classes in the Accelerated path are held during the daytime for four hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (but usually in the morning), three day per week, over four weeks.

The schedule for the Summer Capstone courses is quite variable. Students are recommended to have highly reduced workload or to take a leave of absence from work during the Capstone courses.

Sample schedules

The sample schedules below are based on completing the program as a part-time student taking either one or two courses per term.

Note: These sample schedules indicate the fastest timetable for a part-time student to complete the program based on admission term. Students may choose to take more time to complete the program.
