<p>I'm looking for colleges that teach one course per term. The only ones I know of are Colorado College and Evergreen.</p>
<p>Cornell College in Iowa.</p>
<p>Evergreen State offers some 16 credit courses meant to be taken as the only course in a term, but it also offers 2, 4, 8, and 12 credit courses that are meant to be taken alongside other courses to make a full course load in a term.

<p>PhD students who have completed the base level graduate course work are enrolled in one course per term – the “independent study for PhD students” course.</p>
<p>Thank you. One of my Ses is a junior at Evergreen and the course set-up has worked really well for him. The other S would benefit from a similar kind of college - he has had substantial difficulties (executive function issues) at colleges with a traditional 4 or 5 courses per term curriculum. I was hoping to find single-course colleges closer to the east coast.</p>
<p>It’s often called the block system. Perhaps that will help with your googling.</p>
<p>Thanks, but after googling, it appears that Evergreen is not technically a block plan college (nor does it appear on any lists of block plan colleges). It’s really one interdisciplinary course per quarter (16 hours credit). Many of the courses span 2 quarters or are even year-long. It’s the interdisciplinary aspect that’s unique.</p>
<p>Hmm, then you may not want Colorado. I think that is true block plan.</p>
<p>yes, but it also offers one course at a time, which is part of what I’m looking for. Unfortunately, I don’t think my S has the grades to get into Colorado College or Cornell in Iowa. I’m pretty sure he could get into Evergreen, but we’d have to move out there with him! Just too far away (not a problem for our other son). Thanks, anyway.</p>
<p>Tusculum College in Tenn.</p>
<p>There are choices for kids with ADD as well that give additional support. </p>
<p>My S has ADD and he did manage a competitive, traditional college, though it was hairy at times and required medication.</p>
<p>Thanks, Mythmom. I took a look at Tusculum and will look more closely at it. My S also has ADD, but has not found a medication that helps him.</p>
<p>Kalamazoo?</p>
<p>Would you consider a more “traditional” course set up with support for your child? My daughter has issues and she is currently a Freshman at Knox which has only 3 classes per term with 3 terms per year. The support she gets makes this work for her.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions.</p>
