Hey there! I prefer shorter academic terms and am thinking about attending a community college that uses the quarter system rather than the semester system. Does anyone have a list or resource for community colleges in this category? Thank you!
Hello! Sure, I can help you with that. While I don't have a comprehensive list of all community colleges using the quarter system, I can point you to some examples of colleges with this setup. Here are a few community colleges that use the quarter system:
1. De Anza College (Cupertino, California)
2. Foothill College (Los Altos Hills, California)
3. Lake Washington Institute of Technology (Kirkland, Washington)
4. Portland Community College (Portland, Oregon)
5. Seattle Central College (Seattle, Washington)
Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other community colleges that use the quarter system as well. To find more community colleges using the quarter system, I would recommend visiting the websites of colleges in your region and checking their academic calendars. Schools with the quarter system typically have academic years divided into four quarters: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Another strategy you can use is to search online forums and discussion boards where community college students share their experiences. You may come across mentions of other schools that use the quarter system.
I hope this information helps you in your search for community colleges with the quarter system. Good luck!
