Academic Calendars
Course Format
Classes and vacations are scheduled to allow students to combine study and travel. Three-day weekends are the norm and there are three extended vacation periods: Fall Semester break (October), the break between semesters (December-January), and Spring Semester break (March). Students must budget time carefully so that classwork does not suffer.
