Summer Study

The University offers seven summer sessions of varying length. These sessions provide excellent learning opportunities for students wishing to accelerate or enhance their degree program and they offer professional advancement for working adults. A wide variety of core courses and summer-only courses are offered during the months of May through August. Summer classes are scheduled so that students may take more than one course per session and take courses in more than one summer session. On-campus housing is available during summer sessions.

The May Term is an accelerated two-week session that starts immediately after the spring semester and concludes prior to the start of the first six-week summer session. There are two six-week summer sessions; the first one starts in May and the second starts in July. A 12-week session runs concurrently with the two six-week sessions. This schedule provides for a high degree of flexibility for full-time and part-time students with other summer obligations. Students from other colleges and universities are welcomed to the University in the summer, and assistance is provided for these students to transfer the courses taken at the University to their degree-granting institution.
