What universities by the quarter system?

Question

I can't stand semesters. I do, however, know of one university in CA, 2 in WA, and 1 in Michigan that go by quarter. But are there any others?

semester = 6 classes
quarter = 4 classes

Quarters end faster!

Answer 1

To the previous users.... some of you got some right, some of you are completely wrong...

First of all, in the west coast (well... maybe California) a lot of schools have the quarter system.

For the UC system, all schools are in quarter systems except Berkeley. I don't know about Merced; it's new.

For Cal States, they should be mixed. For example, San Jose St. is semester, Cal Poly SLO and San Francisco St. are quarters.

Also, Stanford is in quarter system. Not sure about Cal Tech.

Still... how can yo not stand semester system? You do know quarter system is worse than semester system in almost every aspect, right?

For example, a quarter is only 10 weeks. That is pretty hasty. Not to mention that you have 3 sets of finals in quartars instead of 2 sets of finals in semesters. I don't need to go into midterms and other crap like papars and projects, do I?

Quarter system does have the benefit of letting you learn more, though. After all, there are 3 quarters in a year, while there can only be 2 semesters (I am ignoring the summer school part).

Answer 2

All of the University of California schools are on the Quarter system. State Universities in California are Semester.

UCB, UCSC, etc - Quarter
SJSU, Fresno State, etc - Semester

Answer 3

well, UC Santa Barbara is on the Quarter system, so is UCLA... I think possibly all the UC's are on the quarter system.

Answer 4

Nope.
