At some online universities, your progress toward your degree is dictated by the schedule of semesters or the pace of your classmates. At NCU you can complete each course at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Our academic terms for graduate students are twelve weeks long, and each course is designed to be completed in twelve weeks. However, we are flexible. You can, if you choose, finish sooner and begin your next course more quickly. Just work one-on-one with your Faculty Mentor, who will help you finish your assignments and complete the course on your schedule.

This flexibility can help you schedule your education around your career and important family events. You can also schedule course starts more frequently if you choose — say, every eight weeks — and accelerate your progress toward graduation.

For more information about NCU's flexible term lengths, talk to your Academic Advisor.
