Implemented in 1970, the Block Plan allows for intensive study with no interruptions from other academic obligations, extended laboratory and on-location field work, and independent study. Freed from having to spend an hour or two each night switching mental gears from chemistry to calculus, then to metaphysics, the philosophical basis of communism, and advanced readings in economics, the Block Plan allows students to focus and absorb a single subject in great detail. The student-faculty ratio is 11.3 to 1. All classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants or graduate instructors. Another 50 visit annually to teach one special topics course.
