Please be aware that this is a challenging course, and students should be prepared to take this course largely independently. Online access is required for this course.

The minimum amount of time necessary to complete the course is 12 weeks. It will not be possible to make special accommodations that will permit completion of the course in fewer than 12 weeks, so please plan accordingly. The exams are only available to be taken in a paper format. Please plan for shipping time.
