Students work at their own pace. The method of assessment is via an on-line examination or assignment when the students are confident that they are ready to be assessed. For on-line exams, these will be available automatically once all the Topic Quizzes have been completed.
An MBA degree will be awarded by Calwest University upon the successful completion of 12 Courses (36 Credit points). This is expected to take 2 years (full time) and 4 years (part time) after start date.
A DBA degree will be awarded by Calwest University upon the successful completion of 60 Credit points. This is expected to take 3 years (full time) and 6 years (part time) after start date.
Credits Earned in a Compressed Time Period
Due to the 24 hours per day, 7-days a week nature of a campus in the cloud, it is possible that students may learn at different paces; and some may be able to compress the time period in which they earn a degree. However, Calwest will not permit a program compression that enables students to complete in less than one year for a MBA degree. Special permission on a case by case basis will need to be obtained by students who wish to compress their courses in time periods less than this, and would usually pertain to those coming with significant credit for prior learning in an equivalent program.
