Tusculum College Admission

As a student at Tusculum College, you will take one class for 18 days. The Block System allows you to live and to breathe each subject and to become a part of a true learning community.

With the focused calendar (block system), we break down barriers of time. Because there are no 50-minute class periods, no bells, no other classes to be rushing off to, you can take your time to absorb what you are studying - not just memorizing information.

Over the course of a year you will take eight different classes, each one for three and one-half weeks (18 class days) at a time. Classes usually meet from nine to noon every week day, so afternoons are available for labs, studying, or researching. And at the end of the block, you'll have a four day break to refresh for the next block.
