It's literally a fully year, not just an academic year - we take two summer sessions (one with 2 classes, one with 3), 4 classes in the fall semester, two of which have a fieldwork portion, a winter session course w/field work, and a spring semester w/ 1 class and student teaching. So it's a jam-packed, stressful year, but in the end less expensive then doing it over two years (which they do also offer).
It's not a BA/MA program, unfortunately - none of my undergrad classes will apply to the MA (even though I took some education classes, bah!). As for doing it in one year straight through w/no "real-world experience" - in a lot of fields, that's a problem. It'd be a HUGE problem if I was going into a program in my field of undergrad study, anthropology. For education, though, it's not so much of a big deal - you get the 'hands on experience' through student teaching and they don't expect much experience outside of that (although I am hoping to start subbing as a senior in college, for the experience, the foot in the door and the extra cash!).
But at least I'll have, in just over two years time, two degrees!
