In 2021, Closing the Gap will adopt a condensed schedule to complete the course material in one semester through a mix of monthly on-campus classes and online content running through Sat., May 1. In addition, the program introduces a new pricing model in 2021, offering three credits and adding additional class time at a cost of $225 ($75 per credit). These credits are transferrable to any college or university and would typically cost around $500 per credit. The program typically offered two credits per semester for two semesters each year (four total) but made the changed because of the abbreviated program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
