Block System: Immersive Learning at MIU
Learn more with less stress
At MIU you’re never juggling 4-5 classes and homework – and there’s no finals week! Students take 1-2 classes in 4-8 week blocks. Class schedules allow time for daily meditation and self-care, and every block ends with a 3-day weekend.
This is immensely popular with our students because they naturally learn more, and it eliminates the stress of studying multiple subjects at once. And there’s never a finals week!
