Experience One

The University of Montana - Western developed Experience One, a scheduling model emphasizing active, hands-on experiential learning. To facilitate this, the full term is divided into four, roughly month long learning modules known as blocks in which students focus on one course at a time over the course of eighteen instructional days. The transition to this model was complete beginning with the Fall 2005 semester.^[2] Montana - Western is the only public higher education institution in the U.S. offering this scheduling model.
