Met a guy who attends a college in Colorado that has 21-day courses. Psychology - enroll - get done in 21 days. Physics - enroll and get done in 21 days. Algebra - enroll and get done in 21 days. The college operates on 21-day schedules. I live in Texas. Any colleges in Texas that offer this?

Post-secondary education at its finest

A typical 3 credit course is 3 hours of classroom per week for 15 weeks or 45 hours of classroom instruction. It would be possible to fit into 15 weekdays @ 3 hours per day. In all likelihood, you take only one course at a time and over 15 weeks you take 5 courses at 3 weeks per course. But falling behind is a bitch.

I don't know of any schools by name with this sort of schedule.

Are you referring to Colorado College? Because that sounds like a Block system which they use. Works okay, I think, as long as they fulfill the credit hour requirement

This is schedule frowned upon? My school offers summer school like this (as well as longer sessions).

Or, does the amount of weeks not matter if the hours equal 45?

I wouldn't have a problem with it. I presume that if you produce a transcript from an accredited school of higher education, it is assumed that the coursework meets a minimum standard for academic instruction.

I don't remember the name of that college but I was wondering if any universities in Texas offer courses in this format.
