Earn certificates along the way
Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox's accelerated online general education courses are formatted into four stackable certificates, meaning you'll earn a new credential each step of the way!
Format
Each semester (fall, spring and summer) is 16 weeks long. We break the semester into two eight-week sessions. This enables you to take classes in both sessions while making it possible to take just one class at a time. Nearly all classes are three semester credits.
Take a class in Session 1 (weeks 1-8), then take a new class in Session 2 (weeks 9-16). Students can take up to two classes during each session if their schedule allows.
