Completion of PUG IT Excel Track in One Term - Capstone Duration Inquiry

[walruspanda]

Hey everyone, I've been checking out the course schedule and noticed that the capstone project is set to take approximately 10 weeks to complete. I'm eager to know if there's any possibility to expedite this process and wrap up the Excel track within a single term.

I tried moving up the capstone to my first term of the BSIT PUG degree -- not even to try to complete the degree in one term, just because it fit into my schedule better first term better than second. No dice. I was told they do not allow students to take capstone in the first term, at least in the IT department. So unfortunately I know first-hand that it isn't a possibility.

Nope. It takes all 10 weeks and it's not ExcelTrack tuition. You pay per credit for it. You're not on your own with this class unlike the others in ExcelTrack.

That was once true for the BSIT, from what I've read, but it isn't quite accurate currently. It used to be you had to take capstone alone (with no other courses) in your last term, but now you can take it along side other Exceltrack modules at the Exceltrack price (I'm taking it with three other modules this term). The capstone is still a traditional class, though -- there's not an Exceltrack version of it.
