In the United States, the academic calendar typically follows a two-semester system. The main intakes for students are generally in the fall (August/September) and spring (January/February) semesters. The fall intake is the primary intake period, aligning with the beginning of the academic year. Many undergraduate and graduate programs start during this time, offering students a fresh start. The spring intake, although less common, provides an opportunity for students to begin their studies in the middle of the academic year. It is worth noting that some universities may also offer a summer intake for specific programs or for students seeking shorter-term study options. However, it is essential to check with individual institutions for specific programs and their intake availability as application deadlines and intake periods can vary.
