Instruction is carried out by a combination of proven and innovative learning techniques and formats. Each specialization requires the completion of between five and ten courses, and can be completed in approximately two years. Courses may be taught either intensively, conducted over several consecutive days, or for one evening a week for a number of weeks in a term. Since each specialization is designed as an integrated grouping of courses, students normally must enrol when this specialization begins and must take all the courses. In some specializations, a range of options may be offered.
All specializations also require the completion of a major research paper.
