Traditional Undergraduate Academic Calendar: Fall and Spring
Traditional Undergraduate Academic Calendar: Fall and Spring
The traditional undergraduate programs operate on a two-semester plus 12-week summer academic calendar. The academic year consists of an early fall semester that ends before the Christmas holidays and a spring semester that concludes in early May. Summer courses may be used to lighten the course load during the regular academic semesters, to enrich and broaden the educational experience or to accelerate the student's progress toward graduation.
