This means that all the students go through the program together at the same pace. Our current students and alumni often state that the cohort is their favorite aspect of the program. Students build trust, become a support system for each other, and often form lifelong friendships. Many network well beyond graduation, and some have even gone into business together.

Classes start in late August for our Fall cohort and early January for our Spring cohort. See 星空传媒 Requirements for deadlines.

Two years. The program is six semesters long, going through two fall, spring, and summer cycles. The program has a set schedule, so students cannot graduate sooner, even if they transfer credits in for certain classes.

This varies greatly since different students read and complete their assignments at different paces. This is a reading and writing-intensive program. On average, you should expect to devote 15 to 20 hours a week.
