US institutions typically follow a semester system or a quarter system.
Semester system:
A semester system typically involves three 15-week terms of study :
- Fall : Typically August to November end
- Spring: January to May
- Summer: May to August (typically shorter)
Quarter system:
A quarter system typically involves four 10-week terms of study:
- Winter: Typically January to March
- Spring: April to June
- Summer: June to August
- Fall: September to December
Both systems have their own pros and cons. All universities follow either of the systems.
