Director, Office of Academic Affairs

Jefferson College of Population Health has three semesters: Fall, Spring, & Summer. Each semester has two 7-week terms. Students can choose a recommended pathway that allows them to complete a master's in 2-4 years by taking a class in every 7-week term or once a semester, or a certificate in 1-2 years. 

Skipping a term or semester will mean a reassessment of pathways, with the assistance of advisors, and an extension of time-to-degree. Please refer to Yearly Course Schedule for course availability and pre-requisites. Subject to change.
