part-time studies

Not full course load

Part-time studies is academic coursework pursued at a reduced pace, typically while working or managing other responsibilities.

A part-time student takes fewer courses per term than a full-time student, extending the time to complete a degree or certificate: She's doing her MBA through part-time studies while raising two kids.

The arrangement trades speed for flexibility.
