From General Education courses to online courses (log on from poolside!) to classes that count toward a major, Western's 2010 Summer Session has something to suit every student's schedule...and degree.
Registration begins Monday, April 5 for courses offered during the May pre-session; four-, six- and eight-week sessions; weekend academies; and on-line options. Additional summer opportunities at Western's Macomb campus include non-credit programs and conferences (youth summer camps — art, filmmaking, music, math, athletics and more); internships; and opportunities for Study Abroad experiences.
"I encourage students to review the opportunities available for Summer Session 2010 at Western," said WIU Provost Jack Thomas. "Summer is an ideal time to take additional courses – either on campus or via distance learning options – to keep on track or to get ahead. We offer a variety of courses, and provide the academic resources to make summer session an enriching educational experience."
