Course formats

There are three types of course formats:

Intensive courses

These are taught in a concentrated format over one or two weeks.

Typically taught over consecutive weekdays.
Suitable for those in a position to take a short period of time out of work for training or professional development, as well as full-time students.

Block courses

These are broken into chunks and taught in the evening, on Fridays, and on Saturdays.

Typically spaced over two or more weeks and sometimes over several months.
As with intensive courses, designed to accommodate full-time workers as well as full-time students.

Weekly courses

These run with two-hour weekly meetings over one or two trimesters.

This is our standard course format.
The majority of 500-level courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening.

Intensive and block courses have been indicated in the course details below.
