1 Business Graduate Pathways Standard students have the option to start in January with their PW being Spring/Fall. They will either elect to take annual vacation or GRE preparatory sessions during the summer. They will not take Business courses over the summer and will resume their pathway in the Fall. Please note that students offered Spring/Fall will have the option to elect a change to Spring/Summer after the start of their pathway and in consultation with the academic counselors. However we do not encourage students to elect Spring/Summer as they have condensed modules and also required to prepare for GMAT. It could affect their success in the pathway.
