IBCS offers classes mainly during three terms:

• Fall – late August through mid-December
• Spring – mid-January through mid-May
• Summer – mid-May through June

Classes meet throughout the week generally starting at 8:00 a.m. and finishing at 3:40 p.m. IBCS also offers several courses on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings during the fall and spring semesters. Summer term classes last from 2-4 hours per day and provide the same amount of instruction and credit hours as a regular 15-week class.

Occasionally, IBCS will offer a graduate or seminary class during a one- or two-week winter term. These classes are held on an as-needed basis. Ask the academic dean for more information if winter term classes are of interest to you.

Block Courses

Graduate and seminary summer courses are generally offered as one- to three-week block courses.

In the summer, undergraduate classes offered during regular semesters are completed in one- or two-week blocks allowing students to make up classes they’ve missed or to take classes earlier in their program to lighten the regular semester load.
