The Summer Session offers numerous opportunities to enrich and accelerate a student’s academic program. Additional Summer Session offerings include internships, study abroad courses, courses that satisfy state teacher certification requirements, and some offerings that are only available in summer sessions. Students attend the summer session for many reasons: to get ahead on their work toward a degree, to catch up by taking a course the student had been previously unable to take, or to explore an area of personal or career interest. Qualified high school students may apply to attend the Summer Session and may take courses if their application is approved.
