Advanced CIP Program Courses

The Advanced CIP courses (course codes beginning with A) are delivered through facilitated online learning. There is no weekly live class, but all students follow the same weekly schedule for readings, assignments, and graded online interaction under the guidance of a facilitator. More details about course materials are included on specific course pages. 

Time commitment: About 8–10 hours per week per course to complete readings, assignments, discussion and other activities. Each ACIP course lasts one term (12–13 weeks).

COURSE SEQUENCE

Courses are designed to build on each other. We recommend that you take only one course at a time, and that you complete the courses in the order listed.

Most courses are open to all Institute members. However, to complete the certificate you must have completed the CIP designation. Please see the individual course pages for details of recommended prior study and mandatory prerequisites.

Advanced CIP courses are offered in three terms each year: fall, winter and spring. The following dates and deadlines apply.
