RA Schools with short terms. (5/7.5/8/10) week terms ?

Hello,

On the top of your heads, can anyone give me some schools that offer short schooling terms ? I know Arizona State has 7 1/2 week format. UMUC as well ? Anyone knows other schools that have them ?

thank you

 

Excelsior has 8 week courses.

 

The last I heard, National University has 4-week terms. Colorado Technical University had 5.5-week terms when I attended. I think University of Phoenix has 5-week terms. Charter Oak State College offers 5-week terms for some courses. When I did my master's at Angelo State University, all of my courses were in 8-week terms. The Alamo Community Colleges I attended had 8-week terms during spring and fall. I think they had some 6-week terms during the summer. In May, they have 3-week courses. Central Texas College also has 8-week courses. I think a lot of community colleges offer 8-week courses.

 

Troy University offers 10-week term, 5 terms per year.

 

Short terms are a blessing and a curse. The good part is that you get done quickly; the bad part is that the final exam is only 4 weeks away on your first day of class. First major paper is usually due within one week of starting. The amount of daily reading and other work can be daunting. It is so easy to get behind and blow it in a course, but, if you stay on top of it, it is exciting. I loved the 4 week courses when I attended National.

 

4 week terms are good for me when I'm clearing my annual leave and I have nothing to do.
I can fully focus on the coursework at hand. I'm just trying to figure out how many more credits I can do before needing to complete the rest of my degree program at the university itself.

 

I completed several courses in just a few weeks at CSU Pueblo through the self paced independent studies option, I suspect many of the Independent studies courses at the University of Idaho could be done the same way....though with either you should thoroughly read the syllabus before starting. Courses that require multiple pro tired exams probably can't be done as fast.

AMU/APU runs in an 8 week format I believe.

 

:hmmm: This concept of "nothing to do" is new to me. Can you describe it?

It's when the wife has gone to work and the kids are at school.
You just stare blankly at the tv all day.

American Public University does 8 week terms. ASU does 7 1/2 weeks in the spring and fall and 6 weeks in the summer. Southern New Hampshire University does 8 weeks with a 1 week break after each term. I believe North Central University does 4 weeks. Ashford University does 5 weeks.

 

Southwestern College, KS 6 week classes.
Central Christian College, KS 6 week classes

 

I know this is an old thread but are there any additional RA colleges that offer 5 week terms for Bachelor's degrees?

 

You should include in your search the idea of "accelerated" programs. Often these can be accelerated to virtually any extent.

 

I'll see if that turns up additional options

 

i'm just gonna add - consider competency base degrees, since you're able to knock out alot of credits in a short period of time.

back then when i made this, it wasn't really a thing.

 

Thanks. Aside from WGU are there any other places that offer competency based degrees?
