We noticed that the Institute’s language regarding 4-year degree plans has recently changed to “”completing degrees in 8 semesters.”” Why the change in language?
A. NMSI and the Institute want to discourage applicants from proposing to use summer semesters as a way to meet the 4-year program element of UTeach. Condensing a 5-year program into a 4-year program by requiring students to take summer courses does not adequately address the four-year element of UTeach. Although it does shorten the number of years to complete the degree, students still face the additional financial burden of summer tuition and lose opportunities to earn money (or have fun) over the summer months and this is expected to deter students from enrolling in or completing the program. Some students may choose to go to summer school but should not be required to go as part of their degree plans. Please see related question below.
