3. How is the specialization structured, and what is the time commitment?

• The specialization consists of four courses:

1. Consonants of American English Pronunciation (~18 hours)
2. Vowels of American English Pronunciation (~22 hours)
3. The Music of American English Pronunciation (~18 hours)
4. The Pronunciation Project (final reflective capstone, ~16–17 hours)

At a pace of 10 hours/week, most learners complete the series in about 3–4 months, though the platform sometimes estimates around 2 months depending on effort.
