BBA Learning Path

Modified on Wed, 12 Mar at 8:50 PM

Overview

At Nexford, we understand that flexibility is key to balancing your studies with other commitments. That's why we offer a personalized approach to course enrollment.

To help you adjust to online learning and build a strong academic foundation, you'll begin your BBA by taking one course per month or term for the first eight courses in your learning path. This allows you to ease into the program and establish a manageable study routine.

Accelerated Learning Enrollment: Increasing Your Pace

After successfully completing your first eight courses, you have the option to accelerate your progress by enrolling in up to two courses concurrently.
To be eligible for this standard enrollment pace, you must meet the following criteria:
- Maintain a Cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 3.0 or higher.
- Have no outstanding tuition balance.

This accelerated pace enables you to make quick progress while maintaining a manageable workload and ensuring academic success.

Picking the Right Path for You

At Nexford, we offer flexibility in how you progress through your MSDT, and choosing the right path depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. Here are some factors to consider when deciding between a standard pace of one course per term or an accelerated pace of up to two courses per month.

Important Note to Kenyan Learners

To meet the requirements of the Commission on University Education, it is essential to complete your program within a minimum timeframe of one year for the graduate level and three years for the undergraduate. This duration is specifically aligned with the criteria set by local government units in Kenya for civil service eligibility and some universities for PhD continuing education.
