Weeky Schedules

As a student in the BBA+ Sunrise program, you will complete the required 60 credit hours during six 12-week sessions of early morning classes and online course work. Usually, there is a one-week break in between each session. You will take three courses in each session. Classes are on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of every week from 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

A typical week looks like this:

Cohort 1
Monday - 1st class 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
