• 36-credit program.
• Four core courses.
• Complete one or more specializations or take electives to customize your learning. Additional specializations require added credits.

Flexible course schedules

For residential students, Mid-Career classes are held in the evening or on Saturday mornings to provide you with the maximum flexibility in planning your program while meeting your work and personal commitments. 

For online students, courses have some synchronous (real-time) elements, but are mostly asynchronous so you can participate on your own schedule. Synchronous sessions will take place in the early morning or evening Pacific time on weekdays and weekends (approximately 1 hour a week, per course).

Mid-Career schedule

Whether online or residential, you can complete the Mid-Career MSIM in one calendar year if you wish to finish quickly and are able to manage an accelerated course of study. It allows students to complete one specialization in addition to the core set of courses. Students can stay an additional year or more if they desire more depth in their learning experience or want to complete the program at a more moderate pace. A second year also allows students to complete a second specialization.

The Mid-Career MSIM requires 36 credits to graduate. Online students should consult the MSIM online portal. In addition to the required foundational core courses, students can complete one specialization and electives.
