The majority of the University’s graduate and doctoral-level programs have already transitioned from 12- to 8-week term formats. This change was in response to student feedback and is aligned with the institution’s student success initiatives.
In keeping with this goal, the W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing and Health Professions is transitioning all graduate and doctoral nursing degree and certificate programs to 8-week course formats. This includes the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and the Master of Science (MS) in Nurse Educator, MS in Nursing Informatics, MS in Nursing Administration programs and related graduate certificates.
Following the structure of its other graduate-level programs, the Heavin School of Arts, Sciences, and Technology is transitioning its 12-week Master of Science (MS) in Cybersecurity program to 8-week term formats.
