I don't get what this means

[Haftbefehl]

<p>

By two terms they mean two semesters which is one academic year. This is different from Stanford which is on the quarter system rather than semesters. At Stanford you would attend three quarters per academic year.

<p>I am literally crying of joy. This was the exact response that I was looking for. I didn’t want to bother my parents with the tuition again for a master’s degree Columbia and Stanford usually had one year master programs but Harvard didn’t. (They did, I was just not familiar with the jargon.)</p>

<p>Thanks a LOT cltdad once again, and JHS.</p>
