What will you do this summer?
Immerse yourself in another language
Dive into French, Spanish, Italian and Latin this summer. In accelerated summer sessions, you can pack a full semester of language study into a fast-paced term of 5.5 weeks.
Get smart about money
Whether or not you’re majoring in finance, courses in economics or corporate finance offer a big-picture view of how money moves on micro- and macro-scales.
Unlock your creativity
Workshops on poetry, prose, new media and writing about identity and history offer fresh techniques as you develop your craft.
Brush up on the classics
Reflect on Homer’s epic tales of war and rivalry in an online classroom, with one eye on the past and one on the present—or you can join an evening discussion of the masterpieces of 19th century Russian literature and discover why these works gained such power and prestige.
Stay in the loop
These days, there’s no such thing as a slow news cycle. Review critical perspectives in journalism to grasp the meaning of media in a time of significant technological and political change, or surf Internet studies to learn how to understand online behaviors from social media to memes.
Do the right thing
Or, more accurately, study competing philosophies of doing the right thing in courses on ethics and biomedical ethics.
See the world
