    Maybe Marywood might start offering the program with a single 50-question ticky-box exam...like that Spanish MBA outfit. :)

    "Streets of Managua." (or is it Laredo?)

    "...So you paid the Outfit and now you're a Master.
    Well I paid the Outfit and now I'm one too.
    Let's pay the Outfit and we'll all be Masters
    If you pay the Outfit, then you'll be one too." :)

    Fair! Though the British conventions seem to make degrees work with fewer courses total but the courses are "bigger."

    UMGC has an MS in Strategic Communications comprising 6 courses total. The courses are 6 credits each for a total 36 credits.

    In the UC Berkeley MIDS program, they state that the program is 27 units with each course being 3 units, so 9 courses. As far as the Dartmouth program, you are correct that there is no information on credit hours.

    The sheep HAVE to be shorn. Somebody's gotta do it. :)

    Sheep are nice, fairly docile animals. I like countries where sheep outnumber people 5:1 - like New Zealand and Mongolia. If I knew of a University where sheep outnumbered people in that ratio - I'd probably want to go there. Maybe there's an Agricultural College in Australia for me, with a big sheep farm on campus. .... :)

    ... or maybe the American Southwest. Many Navajo people are very skilled with sheep. Let's try New Mexico.-- Oh yeah - here's New Mexico State University's Sheep Unit in Las Cruces NM. Hey, I know a guy from there... :)

    Of course, you kill and eat them as well as shearing them.

    Some do --- I haven't, for many years. I don't make a big thing over it. Maybe I would eat them again, if I were in Navajoland. Mutton stew is a staple there. When in Rome.... or Shiprock NM....or Tsetserleg, Mongolia... :)

    But someone else would have to kill them. I could NOT do that.

    Brown University offers a Master of Science (ScM) in Technology Leadership that just barely exceeds sanantone's one week on campus parameter for this thread. It's online with two campus residencies, each 4 days, Thursday to Sunday inclusive.
