Students will be able to use the either course number to complete the degree. In other words, if you already took ETC 677, you will not have to take ETC 645.
Ability to Complete the M.Ed. Degree program in One Year
Starting in the Fall of 2012 ETC graduate courses will be scheduled for 7 week sessions. There will be two 7 week sessions during the regular 16 week traditional semester. This would mean that you could take two ETC courses during a regular semester, but not at the same time. For example, working professionals who normally take two courses per semester could take one course the first seven weeks and another the second seven weeks of the regular semester – allowing you to still take two courses per semester, but only have to work on one course at a time. For those who wish a faster track, you could take two courses each seven week session, completing four courses per semester, but still only working on two at any one time.
