To complete the BALA in 2 years, students complete 5 units in each regular semester, 1 online unit in each winter semester, as well as 2 intensive units in a June-July Winter term during their first year.
If a student enrols in the accelerated track but, upon completing 1 or 2 semesters, desires to switch to the standard track, he/she may do so.
Accelerated track students may apply for the 5-week Oxford intensive program, which they would participate in during their second year of study.
