Workload

Once a week course

Blueprint utilizes a flipped classroom model of instruction where you’ll be doing work outside of class before attending and using what you’ve learned in your pre-work to practice during class with experts. To accomplish this, you’ll need to plan for about 15 hours of work outside of class each week. You can see a sample week below. Notice that it’s around 2 hours of work per day this week

Twice a week course

Some students may want to choose a class that operates on a more accelerated schedule that meets twice a week. These classes have more out of class work per week for you to be prepared for the work in class. You can see a sample schedule below. Notice that each day has more work (between 3 and 7 hours) due to the accelerated nature of the course schedule.

Switching courses

Whichever course you choose, Blueprint makes it free and easy to switch between class schedules if your needs necessitate doing so.
