Our part-time program offers a minimum of 6 hours of mandatory classroom instruction and an up to an optional 12 hours per week. Students would have the option to enroll in any of the available opened classes. If a class is not available at their level, they may choose to enroll in private sessions before entering a class. Students are able to complete 1 level of proficiency in two 15-week semesters. Therefore, a part-time student can complete the non-academic program in approximately 40 months. If a student decides to take the academic advanced course, it takes approximately 48 months to complete.
*Although, full-time is the recommended plan at ACES, this part-time option is for students that do not have F1 Visa requirements, the allocated schedule, and/or financial means to take full-time courses.
