Colleges with Block Scheduling Becoming More Popular
Here's an update for students who are looking for a different college or university experience:
Block scheduling became popular several years ago, with Colorado College leading the pioneering idea of students taking only one class for a 3 1/2 week period, then taking the next class, and so on...so you still get your ten courses, just one at a time.
Thanks to NY-based educational consultant Allen Tinkler for this list of schools in North America that have block schedules:
Colorado College (Colorado)
Cornell College (Iowa)
Maharishi University (Iowa)
Tusculum College (Tennessee)
University of Montana Western (a U Sphere Fave)
Prescott College (Arizona)
Quest University Canada (British Columbia)
Evergreen State College (Washington State)
(One Interdisciplinary Program each quarter)
Hofstra University (NY)
(First year only for New College division)
