Binghamton University’s academic calendar typically follows a two-semester system, with a fall and spring semester. The fall semester usually begins in late August or early September and ends in mid-December, while the spring semester begins in mid-to-late January and ends in early May.
Binghamton also offers summer sessions, which typically run from May to August, as well as winter session courses that run for several weeks between the end of the fall semester and the beginning of the spring semester.
It’s worth noting that academic calendars can vary slightly from year to year, so I recommend checking Binghamton University’s official website to confirm the exact dates for the current academic year.
