All students need to decide how to schedule their classes to complete their credential. This study examined three types of student scheduling choices: full-block scheduling, partial-block scheduling, and traditional scheduling to address two research questions: How do the choices students make in scheduling classes-using three scheduling options-affect the time to completion of a two-year credential? How do the choices students make in scheduling classes-using three scheduling options-affect the grade point average of students completing a two-year credential? Based on the literature review and for this study, full-block and partial-block scheduling are basic learning communities. This study examined six years of data in three two-year programs at a Midwestern technical college. The quantitative analysis, based on 107 graduating students, used Chi-square calculations to determine the relationship between three scheduling choices and the average time to completion and to determine the relationship between three types of student scheduling choices and the final average student GPA. The key findings determined there was a relationship between student scheduling choices and the average time to completion, and there was no relationship between student scheduling choices and the average final GPA. The study determined that students who utilized full-block scheduling format completed a two-year credential in two years. Partial-block scheduling on average took longer, and traditional scheduling on average had the longest completion time. If colleges offer true conflict-free block schedules, and students follow these schedules, they have the fastest way to earn their credential.
