A student's program length at AMDA depends on whether they decide to take the Traditional Track or Accelerated Track for their program. There are two terms of study in a traditional academic year and AMDA offers three semesters per calendar year (Fall, Spring, Summer) with a minimum of a week off between each semester. This structure offers the flexibility for students to complete their program at a pace that works for them, whether they decide to do the Traditional Track and take a term off after each academic year or do the Accelerated Track and enter the workforce ahead of their peers.
