Drexel Uni breaks academic calendar is divided into four different 10-week quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer). At the end of each quarter, students sit for a week of exams, followed by a short break between terms. Classes worth 12-20 credits take place year-round.
As terms are only 10 weeks long, studies and exams take place at a much faster pace than the semester-based system. This also allows students to include co-op work terms during their studies.
The below table gives a sample calendar of a student at Drexel Uni:
| Quarter | Months |
|---|---|
| Fall | Mid-Sep to Mid-Dec |
| Winter | Early-Jan to Late-Mar |
| Spring | Late Mar to Mid-Jun |
| Summer | Late-Jun to Early Sep |
