Summer Courses!
As every summer starts approaching I always wonder to myself, should I take an online class? The answer to that this summer is YES! In fact I will be taking two summer courses, both of which will be online. This year A&S has made it really easy to see all the courses that are being offered over the summer and they have even color coded them to help make your search easier. You can filter the courses by sessions, a selected list of courses such as A&S humanities or you can just browse the entire catalogue to find something that you might be interested in taking. This year A&S has made it really easy to find all the courses being offered and I would encourage you to check it out and take a class (or two)!
