    Can anyone think of a graduate program in either business/management/organizational leadership (or related) or education (anything not K-12) that has 5 week classes? Has to be RA, but price isn't a factor.

    thanks everyone, it gives me somewhere to start. I'm looking (again) for my husband (again). He was going to start last year but his employee reimbursement didn't kick in until this semester, and he's hoping to start as soon as I finish. His BA is NA, which has been a barrier. He's been making phone calls seeing if he can apply and they may make an exception/consideration and so far has been told no by 3 schools. He might end up at Northcentral (AZ) or APUS unless I can find anything better.

    Liberty Online courses are 8 weeks. Liberty also has intensive courses but I do not know how many weeks.

    I think I looked into this once before, back when you were enrolling, and I didn't think it was going to be an option for dh? Maybe I'll revisit just to be sure.

    Keiser University has block scheduling with four week terms. Despite the '90s-looking web site, they've been around a long time and are regionally accredited.

    Steve, I'm loving that option. I'm checking it out now, I think I'll have him look at it when he gets home. They have an MS in Education that has a specialization in career college admin (he's a chef instructor) which might be perfect! Thanks!!

    I teach 5-week graduate courses in another discipline at 3 (Christian) schools that are RA and have business courses (don't know for sure that business classes are 5-weeks as well):
    Ohio Christian University
    Indiana Wesleyan University
    King University.

    All are B&M with growing online presence.

    Thanks everyone! He's narrowing down the list, Keiser is sitting at the top (thanks Steve!).

    For what it's worth, if his employer's willing to foot the bill Keiser does have an online EdD. :smile:

    Concordia University in Portland OR, and a one year MSed in a number of disciplines. Classes run five weeks in length.

    It's regionally accredited and connected with a brick and mortar university.

    I have no experience with it, but it was looking at it for myself.

    If anyone has any information about Concordia Portand, good or bad; I'd be really interested in hearing your experiences.

    Wilmington University has several graduate classes that are . . . 6 day long (they call them modular). It is in residence, and it is grueling. The big "but" is that all it takes is two weekends. I took one, and loved it. It was like when you have some horrific tragedy with total strangers, you are buddies for the rest of your career!

    They also have 7 week DL courses (they call them blocks).

    Hubby did inquire with them but they won't accept his NA undergrad.
