Academic Calendar
Accelerated 8-week Mods and 6 Start-Dates Per Year Lets You Complete Your Education Faster
We have designed our course calendar to be efficient, allowing you the opportunity to complete 6 mini-semesters (Modules) that are 8-weeks long, and attend school year-round. That way you can complete your degree much faster than at a traditional college. Alternatively, you could take part-time school, evening or online courses. Modify the schedule to meet your needs.
Beal’s Mod System Makes for Faster Semesters

- Some hybrid programs offer evening classes, in addition to day classes
- Most programs are 100% online and most others offer hybrid options
