Fla. schools consult the College on year-long ed.

By Julia Hecht | August 1, 2006

Mark Rosenberg, chancellor for the Florida public university system, is encouraging the state's public universities to offer a full curriculum throughout the entire calendar year, arguing that the switch to year-round education would enable students to graduate faster, increase graduation and retention rates and more efficiently utilize state facilities. Rosenberg has looked to Dartmouth as well as at other schools that have attempted year-round operation in planning the logistics of a year-round curriculum model, but notes that Florida is not looking to adopt a quarter system like Dartmouth's academic calendar. By 2011, Florida's public universities are expected to enroll an additional 65,000 students each year.
