Their web site claims a grad degree in 6 months and 4 months of teaching gets you a master's and a teaching license in the state of Indiana.

Does anyone know about this?

They appear to be accredited by NCA and NCATE, so there should be no question concerning their status. Whether their programs are legit is up to you. Check them out and if it seems right for you, do it. The cost will be roughly in the $7000 - $9000 range, but since they are accredited, they provide students loans as well.

I have no affiliation with them, but I thought I would check them out since you mentioned the Institution.

What is your end goal?

There are lots of places where you can complete a masters degree in 2 semesters or 3 trimesters.

IF you are looking at licensure then there are other issues beyond coursework and your comprehensives or thesis.
