Every Other Weekend College
Finish your degree by taking class every other weekend.
Course Clusters
What are Course Clusters?
Program requirements for Weekend College follow a series of course clusters. Classes are arranged into clusters to make sure that your time is used efficiently and to maximize your success.
The course clusters:
- Ensure that you take the required prerequisites prior to entering a class.
- Balance your courseload so that you are taking a good mix of classes each semester.
- Define your program requirements so you take only the courses you need for your degree, which saves you the time and expense of taking unnecessary classes.
Course clusters correspond to semesters. Weekend College clusters are only available in the Fall and Spring semesters.
- The Fall semester runs from September to December.
- The Spring semester runs from January to May.
Summer semester clusters are not available. However, students who wish to complete the entire program of studies in a shorter period of time may choose to complete the Cluster 6 courses during a Summer semester.
When you begin your first cluster depends on the start date of your cohort. Get more information about Weekend College cohorts.
You must enroll in the entire cluster of courses each semester. Exceptions can be made if you have previously completed college courses.
