How much time will I have to devote to the program on a weekly basis?

While each course is different, as an online student, you can typically plan on spending roughly 10-15 hours a week on course work.

Helpful Tip: While online courses offer you flexibility in completing course work, some students find it beneficial to schedule a block of time one or two days a week to focus solely on their studies. For example, perhaps you dedicate an hour each night to read course texts and pick one night of the week where you complete that week's assignments. You'll find it easier to manage your time if you put your own routine in place.
