The School of Continuing Studies at University of Richmond invites you to make the most of this summer by getting ahead, catching up from behind or taking a class just to expand your knowledge. Choose from our selection of about 200 classes that we offer across most disciplines and majors.
Last year, we had 1,300 enrollments during Summer School, and students had these great things to say about their experience:
- “Summer term was the best time I’ve ever had at Richmond -- both academically and socially!”
- “I felt that my professors were less stressed during the summer which allowed for more meeting time with them and the ability to stay and talk after class.”
- “Everything seemed more relaxed and everyone was more open to meeting new people and making new friends.”
- “I took the toughest subject I had during summer term because I knew that with the smaller class size, I would have the best access to the professor when I needed help. I’m really glad I did this, because I was able to get that one-on-one help I needed. A lot.”
You will be in good company!
- 45% of our students said they took a class in summer “to obtain more credits.”
- 25% took a summer class “to catch up on missed credits from dropping a class in fall or spring.”
- 13% took a summer class “to improve their GPA.”
Last semester to earn semester hours. You are likely aware that the Arts and Sciences, Leadership and Business undergraduate programs are changing from a semester hour to a unit system in the Fall 2008. This year’s Summer School is the last semester for undergraduates students in these schools to take a course measured in semester hours.
Please register soon to reserve your seat for summer classes, because we expect another great season!
See you this summer,
