Extending the Program and Other Options
Students may take courses in any order and may extend the program beyond two years
Our staff is committed to supporting Duke MEM Online students throughout their course of study.
We encourage all students to discuss personal programming challenges to provide options to ensure a successful and meaningful experience. In addition, we allow online students to extend the program on a case-by-case basis.
Below are two examples of scenarios that would allow a student to complete the program in more than two years. Note: The student must have completed three courses to complete the Mid-Program Residency at Duke.
Note well: Not all courses are offered every semester. The student in these examples should meet with their advisor and must plan carefully.
Completing in 3 Years
In this example, a student doubles up on courses in the final year—but this can be completed in any semester.
