The Executive MSHA Program can be completed in six semesters during a twenty-four month period. Each semester begins with an intensive eight day session on the UAB campus. These on-campus sessions start on a Saturday morning and conclude at noon the following Saturday. Classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day (except the last Saturday). Evenings are reserved for reading and working on assignments or group projects. Between on-campus sessions, participants work on assignments at their home locations and interact with faculty and other participants via the Internet.
