How many years does it take to complete a program?
The length of time that it takes to complete a program varies significantly from student to student.
At Athabasca University, programs are measured in terms of required amounts of courses and/or credits, not the length of time it takes to complete them, as our flexible course delivery formats enable students to progress at their own preferred pace.
