Nearing a benchmark.

My MAB cohort just started our next class; it's the Risk Management course that will take us through the end of the 2008 school year.

As I thumbed through the program booklet last night, it dawned on me that we're nearing a bit of a benchmark for the MAB program. At the completion of this course, we'll have one full year of learning and 15 credit hours behind us! Some of my classmates will be even further along, having picked up a course or two ahead of the official start of our program in January.

We all must meet the 42 credit hour requirement in order to receive a degree. But if you knock out the three hours of capstone course, take away six hours granted in our thesis work, and three hours of elective we'll choose next year and you end up at 33. So we're almost halfway through the general coursework.

Whew. Time is flying right on by.
