Cornerstone and capstone taken together?

At COSC, they have 2 8-week terms each semester.

Oh, that is new for me; term and semester isn't the same thing, in south america and Europe we only have semesters.

A lot of schools have multiple terms in a semester, mostly due to having accelerated courses in there, like 2 8-week terms, or 3 6-week terms or whatever.

Also, since lots of schools don't use traditional semesters, they use term to indicate a single length of time - like TESU has 12 terms a year, once a month and overlapping each other; but other schools might have 5 10-week terms, or 4 12-week terms.

And of course, there's the quarter-system, which is generally 3 10-week or 12-week terms or trimesters or quarters.

So it's all kind of interchangeable here.  We like to confuse people.
