Are Online Courses Shorter Than Face-to-face Courses?
Yes. Online learning is compressed to help students move through material much faster than they could in a regular 16-week semester on campus. Most online courses run 6-8 weeks on average, though they can be as short as four weeks. Internship or practicum courses may run longer in some online BSPH programs, to ensure students have time to complete the number of field hours required.
