Elmwood Institute utilizes a flexible, overlapping term-based structure in its graduate programs. Students may enroll in a term at the beginning of each month. Each term is 16 weeks in length, although students have access to course materials and faculty during the week after the course ends. Graduate students may enroll in one to four courses per term (3 to 12 semester credits). Students have access to all course materials and faculty during the week after the term ends.
