Reasons to Take a Course during Winter Session
Lighter Course Load
If you think you will be busy during the semester
with schoolwork, work, and extracurricular activities, a winter course could
help take some stress out of your spring semester.
Improve your GPA
Some courses are easier to take in the winter than
during the spring and fall semesters. Winter session is shorter than a regular
semester—it only lasts from December 19 to January 10. Since there is a maximum
number of credits, you can focus all you effort on one class, instead of four
or more.
Get a start on your Minor
You can begin to take classes that are required for
a minor. A minor is agreat way for you to supplement your major.
Spend time on JUST ONE CLASS
Winter classes are shorter and focus on a single
subject. With the frequent, faster paced, and tighter structure, you can spend
your time working on one class.
Flexibility
Most winter classes are online, which allows for
flexibility. You can stay at home or travel over the winter and still take a
class. There are more than 150 online courses available during winter session.
Get into the classes you need
Take classes that are difficult to get into during
the spring and fall, like liberal studies requirements. You can also explore a
new course or interest that may not fit into your schedule during the spring
semester.
Graduate on time (or sooner)
A winter course will help you graduate on time, if
you are a little behind. It can also help speed up your academic progress, and
you could graduate early!
