Starting in January, Montclair State University will operate on a three-term model, increasing learning options for students, providing more flexible scheduling and giving campus leaders an opportunity to take a hard look at campus operations. The initiative, announced this fall, is designed to give students flexibility in their learning opportunities through various modalities and time blocks, helping reduce barriers to completion. The process has required Montclair State leaders to peel back the layers of institutional operations and reconfigure the university to consider students’ needs first, shares President Johnathan Koppell.
