The MSQM:HA program extends across 19 months, divided into five 12-week terms. The two weeks prior to each term are known as Reading Periods, with the intent to prepare students for their upcoming coursework. The faculty will provide reading materials, asynchronous videos, and simple assignments to complete during the Reading Period as preparation for the upcoming term. During each term, instruction materials will include asynchronous materials as well as synchronous live class sessions and teamwork. Required live class sessions meet virtually every Saturday morning and early afternoons. The program is offered lock-step, with all students within a cohort taking the same classes at the same time.

In addition to the online curriculum, MSQM:HA students have three opportunities for on-campus programming. The first is a mandatory orientation residency at the beginning of the program, which serves as the program launch and an opportunity for students in the cohort to develop a shared sense of community. The second is an optional Leadership intensive residency taking place between Terms 2 and 3. The third is an optional Data Visualization intensive residency taking place between terms 4 and 5.
