Hybrid Curriculum: Coursework is composed of a combination of online learning and in-person labs and practical exercises. The in-person labs and practical exercises are available to all participants in an open learning lab that will be available on weekdays, weekday evenings, and weekends (Lab hours will be provided during registration).

Program length varies based on the student’s availability to complete the in-person labs and practical exercises as well as completion of the online learning. Typically, the coursework can be completed within 3-6 months.
