Summer school

Summer school

There is an opportunity for students to take courses during the summer months. There are various reasons why one may, in some cases want/have to do this:
  1. To get your bachelor’s degree at a faster pace.
  2. Re-taking a course you may not have done well in.
  3. Take extra courses if you have had to take courses below the 100-level.
  4. To achieve enough credits for sophomore, junior, or senior standing.
It is also sometimes possible to take these courses online, which means you do not have to stay on campus during the summer, but instead can travel home and still study.
