WELCOME

Summer at Richmond

Welcome!

The School of Continuing Studies at University of Richmond invites you to make the most of your summer by enrolling in Summer School. The unique format of Summer School allows students to take a class or two and still have time to enjoy summer. Summer School offers shorter parts of term and online classes, making it convenient to get a leg up. Arrange your schedule to concentrate on one course, or to take a variety of courses in combination throughout the summer term. Because we offer four-week and six-week options, in class and even some online, you’ll still have time to kick back before the fall semester starts.

Get ahead. Catch up.

Or take a class just to expand your knowledge. Choose from our selection of more than 200 classes offered across most disciplines and majors. Summer School students and faculty tell us that the intensive format of summer programs creates a more productive atmosphere in class, offers more time for interaction with the faculty, increases knowledge retention and supports more effective learning outcomes.

You will be in good company!

In summer 2008, • 55% of our students said they took a class in summer “to obtain more credits.” • 18% took a summer class “to catch up” on missed credits from dropping a class in fall or spring. • 12% took a summer class “to improve their GPA.” Whatever your academic goals, Summer School is here to help you achieve them. You can use your time with us to stay on track with your degree plan, pick up classes for a double major or minor, or just explore something exciting or different.

More online classes for Arts & Sciences undergraduates.

This summer, we’re offering five online classes through the School of Arts & Sciences. If you’ve been thinking about taking a summer class but are not planning to live on campus, these classes may be perfect for you. Subjects include religion, geography, English, journalism, sociology and political science. See the inside cover of the catalog for a complete course list. Please register soon to reserve your seat for summer classes, because we expect another great session! See you this summer,
