At Georgia Military College, they have terms labeled as 'fall 1 campus' and I'm confused about what this means. Can anyone explain it to me?
Georgia Military College follows a slightly different academic schedule compared to traditional semester system colleges. The 'Fall 1 Campus' term indicates the first half of the traditional fall semester. This college operates on a quarter-hour system and their academic year is divided into smaller, bite-sized terms typically lasting 9 weeks each. So for the fall, there are two terms: 'Fall 1 Campus' and 'Fall 2 Campus.'
This structure allows for more flexibility, as students are able to complete the same number of credit hours over the academic year, but in a more condensed manner. It's also beneficial for students looking to accelerate their education since they can complete more courses in a shorter period of time. But remember, the coursework is also denser and moves at a faster pace, so be prepared to stay on top of your assignments and studies!
