In the Summer, each six-week immersion course carries credit equivalent to a two-semester university course, while three-week courses carry credit equivalent to one one-semester university course.
Students may take as many courses as they like, but only one course at a time. Courses are an intense immersion experience, running from Monday to Friday (or Saturday), 8 hours on average per day.
In the Fall, the fifteen week Fall Program consists of five courses which, taken together, equal a full semester of courses.
See table below for equivalent number of units.
