Courses are scheduled to fit into you busy work and personal life. Most classes are offered over the internet. Some classes are completed independently, either via the mail, web assisted correspondence, or correspondence assisted with email. Therefore, the course offerings usually fit your schedule, whatever the time of day or night. Usually only one or two classes are offered at a time, and lasts approximately 16 weeks. This schedule means that you can focus on one course and not get overwhelmed if the student desires. A student completing one 3-credit course per semester including summers could complete the MSIT program in 3 2/3 years. If you elected to take 2 courses per semester, you could complete the MSIT in less than two years.
