Hi everyone, I recently got admitted to UCLA’s MQE program and I’m trying to figure out the best timeline.

My plan was to finish it in one year, but it seems like a lot of people take around two years.

The program is 48 units, so finishing in one year would mean taking about 4 courses per quarter, which honestly doesn’t sound that crazy to me. Am I missing something? Are the classes really hard or super time-consuming?

Has anyone here finished it in one year? If so, how was the workload?

I don’t want to take only 2 classes per quarter and feel like I’m moving too slowly, but I also don’t want to overload myself and be stressed all the time.

Would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!
