Each of the six CAPS degree programs offer small classes tailored to a student's work or career interests. Students progress through the entire program together as a cohort and take one class at a time, one night per week, meeting for a four-hour session. Students benefit from faculty whose priority is teaching and application. Each professor's practical experience is firmly rooted in years of industry leadership and continues through active consulting. Each program earns accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a nationally recognized accreditation agency.
