Students complete 36 units in courses taught by UCLA faculty and 36 units in courses taught by National University of Singapore faculty.

The program consists of six terms, starting in May. Each term is composed of six weeks. The first two weeks involve the completion of reading assignments and written work that prepare students for classroom instruction that takes place in weeks three and four.  Weeks five and six are spent doing projects or take-home examinations and case analyses. There are 30 contact hours per four-unit course. Students take two or three courses (for UCLA or NUS credit) per term. Two of the UCLA courses are two units; the remaining courses are four units.
