8 Week Classes
The NWTC academic calendar includes a total of five class sessions – each just eight weeks long to help you succeed! With this course schedule you can:
Graduate sooner
Each semester offers two eight-week class sessions, allowing you to earn more credits than you would in a typical semester.
Summer also offers eight-week classes – another opportunity to earn credits toward graduation!
Balance college and life
You’ll focus on only a few eight-week courses at one time, enabling you to balance college with work, family, and friends.
Jump in mid-semester or in summer!
New classes begin about every eight weeks (in August, October, January, March, and June), so you have many opportunities to start (or restart) your college journey.
I absolutely LOVED my first 8-week session! I can't wait until next semester because I can now take four classes total for fall semester, while working full-time, and not be overwhelmed. Being able to focus on two classes at once enables me to be more successful each half of the semester, but I am still able to take four total classes for the semester. Resulting in more progression towards the completion of my degree. Thank you for creating this new session!
