Without a Road Map

The concept behind the “Sprin­tensive” pilot project is deceptive­ly simple: instead of juggling four classes during the semester, 30 students enrolled in one class that met four hours a day, five days a week. After covering a full course’s worth of material in just three weeks, the same group then repeated the process three more times, one course at a time; after 15 weeks they had completed a full semester’s curricu­lum. (During this initial pilot, Sprinten­sive was offered only within the Development Practice and Policy program, and only for one four-course block.)
