Block Schedule

Spalding University’s 8-Week Sessions

In an effort to enhance the academic experience, Spalding University is transitioning from the traditional 6-week course sessions to a more structured 8-week format. This change is designed to provide students with more time to absorb and engage with course material, improve retention and academic performance, and offer faculty greater opportunities to foster meaningful connections with students.

It’s eight weeks of learning followed by a break before your next session of classes. With this schedule, you have the flexibility to decide, every eight weeks, how you want to structure your courses. You may want to focus exclusively on one course, or you may be ready to take on more. You are in control of your academic journey with this flexible approach.

You tell us. A block break can be anything you’d like it to be. A week to get a head start on your next class, a vacation, a service trip, or even a visit home.

However you want to achieve your degree, there is a way for you to find success. All of our programs have opportunities for clinical, practicum, internship or service learning experience. Our graduate studies offer flexibility and choice with online, hybrid and low-residency programs. You will not only graduate with a Spalding degree, but also walk into the marketplace with real-world experience in your field.
