One of the prime advantages of the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business at the
University of Dallas is convenience for the working professional. Intermester classes
held two evenings and Saturdays for 3-4 weeks are also an option. The Gupta College
of Business uses a trimester system, with fall, spring and summer terms. With year-round
classes and multiple starting points each term, students can choose from 12-week,
6-week, or intermester classes.
For international students it is a distinct advantage to attend class with current
working professionals in the field where you aspire to work. The Cybersecurity program

practical training (OPT) extension of 17 months for a total of 29 months.
