What're the differences between Quarter and Semester calendars? Most CSUs are based on Quarters Calendar.
Which one do i have to choose to get bachelor? when do these classes: summer, winter, spring, and fall start?

The system is somewhat complicated to me. Please some one help me clarify with it.

The quarter or semester set-up has nothing to do with the degree, it's just a scheduling thing. My daughter went to a college that was on a quarter system. If you google, "college name, academic calendar" you can find the dates. My daughters college had 10 week quarters and she would take just three classes a quarter but each class would have five hours of classtime a week. She had a 7 week break starting the week before Thanksgiving and ending January 2nd or 3rd. The bad part was her school didn't finish until June 6 or 7th which is about a month later then traditional semester colleges.
