Six starting points
Gordon’s fully accredited online program offers six starting points throughout the year, making it easy for you to begin your degree whenever and wherever is best for your schedule and goals.
Short course length
Courses are seven- to- eight weeks long, and most students complete two courses simultaneously each term, for a total completion time of three years at 10–12 courses per year.
