Actual time in class time varies slightly from semester to semester. Workload in other body therapy programs varies significantly depending on an individual student's course enrollments. Weekend classes may be held anytime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Our goal is to begin weeknight classes late enough so that working people can attend without rushing from work and to end early enough to prevent fatigue the next day.
Clinical instruction is scheduled during the business hours of the clinic.
Ten weeks of vacation time for non-clinical students normally include three weeks for the winter holiday season, three weeks in the spring, and four weeks in the summer. Due to the comprehensive nature and length of the program of study, classes may be held on secular and religious holidays. While recognizing the importance of religious observation, Pacific cannot promise students that scheduled classes will not conflict with religious obligations. Study outside the classroom is an integral and im-portant part of every program. The average student should expect to study at least two hours for every hour of instruction in academic courses while clinic preparation may require less outside work.
