Winter Session

Winter Session is a great time to catch up, get ahead, take a course that interests you or even choose one (like our personal and family finance course) that will give you skills you'll use throughout your life!

Plus, nearly all courses we're offering meet the U.S. Diversity requirement and many are open to all majors.

Registration for Winter Session is open through Dec. 22.
