Structure, Holidays, 2012 Schedule

Structure: Online courses are structured with the life-styles of working professionals in mind. There is no software to buy or download. There are three (3) terms of study each year, beginning in Winter, Spring and Fall.  Only one 11-week course is required each term. Spiral Dynamics and Adizes courses (in a live seminar/online dialogue accelerated format) are also scheduled twice yearly for students wishing to accelerate their program with some overlapping coursework.

During the eleven weeks of the each course, participants are required to go online 3x weekly. This is not a weekend program.  Each course requires a minimum of 15 hours of research, writing and online time each week. Each course requires a Synthesis paper integrating Adizes methodology. Writing is done offline in a word processing program before being copied to the online classroom. You should initially schedule uninterrupted blocks of time just as if you were going to a traditional campus for class such as MWF 7-10:30PM, and time for reading and homework such as Sat 8-11AM, and Sunday evening 8-11PM.

Holidays - In-between each term there are approximately six-weeks of free time during which program participants may schedule family holidays, personal projects, or get a head start on reading in preparation for the coming term.  There are generally no conflicts in scheduling time-off for traditional holidays, worldwide, due to the flexibility of the online environment. Students should be sure to communicate with faculty and the other students regarding any planned absences, emergency absences, or any need for additional time to fulfill course requirements.
