Transylvania uses a modified calendar called a “4-4-1 system.” The academic year is divided into three parts: two regular terms (fall and winter) and a one-month term in May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regular term is 14 weeks long, and students normally take four courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the four\u2011week May term<\/a>, students concentrate on one class and often get their first taste of international study. Many May term courses are team-taught and are highly interdisciplinary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
