Some students of the MRT program are experiencing troubles with course planning. Students are having to take semesters off before returning to the main subjects of their degree. This can cause financial problems for students who planned to earn their degree within a certain span of time.
This issue is caused because the main content of the MRT degrees consist of lab courses, which are for the most part only offered one semester out of the year. With this design, if a class is not offered, or gets canceled due to having not enough students, these students must then wait until the class is offered again, which might not be until a year later. Having a gap year between these sequential, hands on courses can leave students out of practice and behind when they finally get to take the next course.
