Online Courses

What's it like to take a summer course online?

It takes the same amount of time and effort as any course.
You don't need to come to campus (with a few exceptions).
Some courses meet for 5 weeks; others for 10 weeks.
You'll interact with professors online instead of in a classroom.
Each of these classes has a unique character. See below for details.

Profile of a successful online student: Does this describe you?

Are you too busy this summer to come to campus for a course?
Does your summer job conflict with the course you want to take?
Are you a self-motivated learner?
Are you concerned about graduating on time?
Do you enjoy learning through many different methods?
Are you open to new experiences?
