Additional fees

The full fee schedule (I-20 fee, recurring semester fees, CPT course fees) is not published yet. Beyond H1B sources every institution field from the school's admissions office, DSO or published catalog, so this section stays empty until it is verified and dated.

Scholarships

Scholarship amounts, fee waivers and processing times describe a commercial relationship. They publish only once the agreement with the institution is signed.

05Format and attendance

Onsite frequencyBi-monthly
Onsite scheduleSaturday classes from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, typically two onsite sessions per semester (about once per month). One 8-week session is usually held on campus while the other runs entirely online. Breaks are provided throughout the day, including at least one hour for lunch.
Onsite locationWilmington, Delaware
Online course limitPending verification
Minimum credits per termPending verification
Missed-attendance consequenceStudents who need to make travel arrangements should confirm the schedule with their instructor in advance, since each course may be structured differently.

Annual travel burden: about 6 round trips a year, roughly $900 - $2,400 per year. Travel is often larger than the tuition gap between two schools, so we compute it rather than leaving you to.

GPA threshold for CPTPending verification

Practical training is part of the graduate curriculum, with per-term CPT authorization from the DSO.

Integral CPT is only lawful when the employment is a required, credit-bearing part of your program of study, authorized on your I-20 by the DSO, and matched by continuous full-time enrollment. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT at one degree level removes OPT eligibility at that level.
