All courses in the BES program are taught online following the principles of guided independent study and collaborative inquiry. Students are expected to have intermediate computer and Internet skills.

The minimum load per trimester is 3 units (equivalent to one course) and the regular load is 12 units (4 courses). A student who will be unable to enroll the maximum load may opt to enroll fewer courses or the minimum load. All students are expected to enroll every trimester unless they are on an approved leave of absence from the University.
