The 4–4–1 Academic Calendar
A unique element in Northland's academic program is the calendar. The fall and winter sessions are each four months long and consist of a minimum of 65 class days. The spring session is one month long and consists of 20 class days. Full-time students must earn 12 to 17 course credits during each of the fall and winter sessions and 3 to 5 course credits during spring session. Fall and winter sessions allow time for maturation of ideas in a program of varied courses. The shorter spring session provides an opportunity for concentration through seminars, independent study and research, and small discussion groups. It also provides opportunities for off-campus experiences such as international study and field experiences.
