Earn three credits in as little as three weeks.
Winter intersession offers an accelerated path of study, allowing you to focus on one course during a condensed period between the fall and spring semesters.
Intersession courses are held online, allowing you to enjoy your break at home while catching up on missed classes, getting ahead in your studies or lightening your course load for spring. Most credits can be transferred to other schools for visiting students.
