(I just like this image. I don't think it has anything to do with this post.)

Now that I’m done with my first online semester at the Academy of Art University I decided to see when I would get out and that requires some math…Let’s go!

63 hours needed to graduate with my MFA

2 classes a regular semester and 2 classes for Summer (it’s been highly recommended that you only take 2 summer classes max!)  That’s 6 classes a year at 3 units/ class = 18 units/hours

63/18 = 3.5 which means 3 years + one semester with 2 classes + one semester with 1 class.  So it’s more like 3 2/3rds years.  I already have 2 classes done I still have 3 years + one semester to go.  That seems like a really long time.

Now if I take 3 courses during regular semesters and 2 courses during the summer = 8 classes/year =24units/hours.  That takes it down to 2.625 years. Since I already have those 6 units I would be done at the end of the Spring Semester in 2012.

Now I just need to see if I can afford this.
