The 4-4-1 Calendar - A unique element in Northland’s academic program is its calendar. The summer session is 12 weeks in length. The fall and winter semesters are each 15 weeks in length. The spring session is 4 weeks in length.
Summer allows for a variety of offerings including a 5-week course session as well as extended time for field experiences and internships.
