Think Summer!

Summer school has become a popular option for many college and university students. In recent years, UW-Green Bay has expanded its summer course offerings, offering a wide range of courses from across many academic departments.

Summer school provides students with the opportunity to accelerate progress towards the degree. Some courses that are in high demand during the fall and spring semesters, are more easily enrolled during the summer session. Courses range from general education courses that will benefit students attending any college or university to upper-level courses in areas of high demand. To improve accessibility, more courses will be offered online.

UW-Green Bay's summer program, which begins May 22, offers variable sessions, providing greater flexibility for students who may also need to work during the summer months. Students will be able to choose from four, six and eight-week summer sessions. Four-week sessions run from May 22 to June 16, June 19 to July 14, and July 17 to August 11. The six-week session runs from June 19 to July 28 and the eight-week session runs from June 19 to August 11.

Students most likely to benefit from enrolling at UW-Green Bay this summer include:

* Students who graduated from high school in 2006 and are looking to get a head start on their college course work or want to see if college is a good fit for them.
* Students from the Green Bay area who attend college elsewhere but are home for the summer.
* Students who attend UW-Green Bay throughout the year and are seeking additional credits over the summer.
