16w vs. 5w
traditional student vs. CPS student
Traditional Students have 16 weeks
YOU are NON-traditional students (parents, full time jobs, on average been out of school for at least 5 to 10 years)
Stronger motivations to come back to college (job security, role model to family, more focused now)
YOU have 5 WEEKs
THREE times the pace
YOU are now a CPS student
The expectation is that you WANT to be here
