University of Cincinnati considers switch to semesters

By Associated Press

CINCINNATI: A University of Cincinnati task force is recommending the university move exclusively to semesters in 2011.

Most colleges and departments at the university schedule classes on the quarter system. The law and medical colleges already use the semester system, as do most universities, including Kent State University and the University of Akron.

Students who take some classes at the University of Cincinnati and other classes elsewhere sometimes find it difficult to reconcile the two systems, which place different values on earned credits. The timing of the start and end of the school year also has made it difficult for some students to arrange summer jobs and internships.

The proposal, which would affect about 28,000 students, must be approved by the university's administration and board of trustees.
