Academic Calendar
Being able to apply academic knowledge to real problems is more important than simply memorizing facts
Stratford University conducts classes year around. The calendar year is divided into five 10-week academic quarters. Three academic quarters are equivalent to one academic year. Each quarter has a mini-start at the mid-point to permit additional start dates. Classes are not conducted on the holidays which are shown below.
