<p>Academic Program:</p>
<p>BLOCK SYSTEM - We will be the first university in Canada to utilize this system, under which students will take one course at a time, each for 3.5 weeks. This system also encourages open dialogue, as each session will include seminars, discussions, research, scholarship and project or laboratory work followed by a final examination. Quest University will operate on a three-term system (fall, spring and summer) consisting of four blocks per term. Students will require 32 blocks to graduate. Some students may undertake an accelerated program, with no breaks between blocks, in order to attain their degrees in less than four years, while other may spread the program out over a more typical four-year period (two terms per academic year).</p>
