Graduate students at IDM are generally self-sufficient and are looking for ways to parlay their education into a high-level career. These goals vary from person to person, but we encourage risk-taking and not following a prescribed ‘path’.

Graduate courses run for 14 weeks plus a class meeting during exam weeks where students show off their work.

Students should expect to do around 5 hours of work outside of each course every week – this includes readings, homework, project development, writing, viewings, etc.

Graduate students do not receive midterm grades in Albert, but you are strongly encouraged to give them feedback at multiple points throughout the semester on their progress and what they can do to successfully complete the course.
