Each course is taught for one week, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a substantial lunch break. Students receive course syllabi several months in advance, and are required to complete readings and some assignments before class sessions. Term papers and/or course projects are due by the end of the respective term (Summer term: September, Winter term: March).

The Intensive courses are designed particularly for students in the M/L Modified Residency Program, and for ministry students at non-UU schools. They are open to M/L residential students, and as space permits, to ministers, DREs, and others seeking to do graduate work.

Classes are limited in size. Priority in registration is given first to Meadville/Lombard students, second to persons studying for the Unitarian Universalist Ministry, then to others taking the course for credit.

Graduate Intensive courses carry one unit of credit at Meadville/Lombard, the equivalent of three and one-third graduate-level credit hours.
