CSAL is structured so that you can complete your Bachelor of Arts degree in as few as 15 to 17 months, or your Master of Arts in as few as 18 months. Because of our accelerated program structure, our students attend class just one night per week for four hours. We currently offer Bachelor of Arts degree completion programs, certificates, and a Master of Arts degree. We have held classes throughout Minnesota and are always forming new classes. Our educational model encourages creative hands-on projects that allow our adult students to immediately turn theory into practice.
Instruction is in a seminar-like atmosphere with a high degree of student interaction.
Once you and approximately 10 other students in your area are ready to begin a program of study, we form a cohort group. This group votes to determine which night of the week they prefer to meet and at what time. Your cohort remains together for all courses throughout the entire major. Students experience a high degree of interaction and teamwork and build strong personal and professional relationships.
