*Please note - online courses are typically asynchronous which means they do not have scheduled days and times like in person courses. At the start of the course, faculty will share important dates and how they have chosen to structure the course. We encourage you to reach out directly to your professor if you have questions about the class you will be taking.
Choose from 100+ courses to help you enhance your college experience. Courses are offered in two sessions and you have the option of taking one or more online classes. Our summer schedule is flexible and affordable. View the sample course listing from summer 2021, an updated schedule for summer 2022 will be coming soon.
