Hastings College Block Schedule

With our block schedule, you’ll take just two classes at a time in focused eight-week blocks. No juggling five classes here! It’s transformed our campus. Students stay more connected in class, and professors report that engaged students perform better!

Deeper learning. Greater flexibility.

Two Classes at a Time

You take just two 4-credit courses per block. Focus, finish them and move seamlessly on to the next two.

Closer Connections

Smaller, daily classes mean you actually get to know your professors and classmates. You dig deep into the subject together rather than just skimming the surface.

Room for Real Life

The 8-week structure makes it easy to fit in an internship, research project or travel course while moving efficiently toward graduation.

Midweek Catch-Up

Wednesdays are different — we don’t hold classes in the afternoon. Instead, during Common Student Hour, every professor is available, and all campus offices are open. It’s your built-in time to get help, ask questions or just drop in because Your Place Matters.

Daily Class Schedule

Better Every Day

One of the best things about our block schedule is that you meet for class every day (except Wednesday afternoons!). This makes it easy to pick up Tuesday right where you left off Monday — building continuously on what you learned the day before.

Before you know it, you’ll be four weeks into a block (midterm!) and have grown so much. Your professor will know your name. You’ll be more confident and comfortable and ready for what’s next.

14:1

Our student-to-professor ratio is 14:1 — that means we have one professor for every 14 students. And most classes have fewer than 20 students. That’s the advantage of a private education at Hastings College. When we say Your Place Matters, we mean it.
