Courses & Requirements

The Low-Residency MTC program provides a similar curriculum as the on-campus version and can also be completed in three years. It has a unique delivery format that makes it a great fit for those with busy lives or who cannot relocate to Boulder:

• Three semesters per year rather than two, dispersing the course load to make the program more accessible for those with packed schedules, full-time jobs, and other commitments.
  
  
• The program can be completed from anywhere in the United States but students must visit Colorado twice each year for about a week.
  
  
• Twice per semester, either online or in person, students meet as a group for intensives – live classes that last the bulk of each day. Students complete a big portion of the coursework at the intensives—they’re called “intensives” for a reason!
  
  
• Each semester begins with an online intensive lasting either two or three days.
  
  
• A five-day intensive follows in the second half of each semester. Five-day intensives in the summer and fall semesters are held in Colorado; the five-day intensive in the spring is online.
  
  
• No live classes are held during the semester with the exception of the intensives, giving students the flexibility to complete assignments on their own time. Students are required to meet virtually, based on their own availability and schedule, with fellow cohort members to connect and engage over the coursework.
