Learning Format
Meritus University has no need for terms and is free to operate outside a traditional academic calendar. New students can begin at any time. Graduate courses are six consecutive weeks and undergraduate courses are ten consecutive weeks. Graduate students will typically take one course at a time and undergraduate students will typically take two courses at a time. This allows you to focus attention and resources on one or two subjects - a structure that enhances learning and helps you balance ongoing professional and personal responsibilities.
The calendaring of courses is designed to allow you to take courses back-to-back without breaks; although due to the flexible nature of the online modality, you may schedule breaks between courses. This intensive calendar allows you to achieve your educational goals in a more time-efficient manner. Our low student/faculty ratio and smaller class sizes (averaging 20 students) facilitate active learning and collaboration and encourage time on task.
