I'm working fulltime and will be taking all required courses in one semester. An accelerated study semester is available for all admitted students. Students should set aside 2 to 3 hours of reading and study time for each classroom hour. For the working student, a schedule of one or two courses during a semster is suggested. Students may take as few or as many courses as their schedule permits.
Classes meet once a week for three hours.

The titles are used interchangeably, but you may find employers using them to identfy an internal career ladder.
