Visiting Students: 4 Reasons to Take Summer Classes

Summer

 

Bellarmine’s summer sessions welcome students enrolled at other colleges and universities to take advantage of the special summer rate of $625. Visiting students can get ahead on fulfilling their college credit towards their degree. Summer classes are also a great way to test drive a college you may consider transferring to. Summer courses are flexibly scheduled and taught in accelerated 7-week formats in Bellarmine’s HyFlex delivery.

Less time in college means more time earning money and less money you and your family have to invest in your education

 

Save money.

First and foremost, summer courses are only $625 per credit hour. That means you can not only take classes for less money, but you can also get ahead of your academic schedule, potentially helping you graduate earlier. Less time in college means more time earning money and less money you and your family have to invest in your education. Or better yet, keep on going and continue your education with a Master’s degree!

 

Flexibility

This year, all of Bellarmine’s summer classes will be taught online with HyFlex instruction by the same professors you know and love. That means that whether you live in Louisville, Alaska or Cincinnati, you can take advantage of Bellarmine’s special summer class rate and offerings. And because the summer sessions are in a seven-week accelerated format, you will still have plenty of time to enjoy the summer.

 

Get ahead or make up ground

Taking summer classes are a great way to knock out some of your General Education requirements. That way, you can spend more time knocking out the requirements for your major, adding a minor or simply enjoying summer doing absolutely nothing. On the flip side, if you are finding it difficult to get all of the degree requirements completed in the standard four-year college timeline, then summer classes are a fantastic way to make up for lost ground.

 

Make some room to explore

College is all about opening your eyes to new ideas and experiences. Your fall and spring schedules are packed with the required courses to fulfill the degree requirements for your major. There’s no better way to round out your resume than adding more and diverse skills through summer classes. Summertime offers students a chance to explore other areas of interest. Consider learning a new language, taking a business or music course. If you are still unsure of your major, BU199: Career Exploration and HLTH110: Introduction to Healthcare Professions, are courses to consider.
