The unique Dallas International schedule
We often receive questions from incoming students about Dallas International’s modular schedule. While most courses at Dallas International are 8 weeks long, our courses can last from 4-12 weeks. This makes for a unique modular schedule.
Each term (spring and fall) is about 5 months long and consists of 4 sessions. Each session is 4-8 weeks long. Dallas International also offers a 12 week summer term which overlaps with the last session of the spring term and the first session of the fall term.
