SUMMER SESSIONS

    The University offers two six-week sessions. Although most courses are six weeks, within each six-week term there are usually a number of specialized courses which are offered in shorter periods of time. These sessions are an integral part of the year-round program of course offerings for both graduate and undergraduate students. They are specifically designed to serve a variety of publics: regular Valparaiso University students accelerating their study, in-service teachers desiring further professional education, visiting students from other colleges earning credit while on summer vacation, high school graduates beginning their college careers early and other interested persons who would like to take course work toward degree objectives or simply for personal enrichment.

    Students may earn a maximum of seven credit hours in each six-week term, or 14 for the entire summer, which is nearly the equivalent of one semester's work. Students enrolled in a two or four-week intensive course may not be simultaneously enrolled for any other course, except by petition.

    Courses on the undergraduate and graduate levels are offered in each session in virtually all areas of the College of Arts and Sciences, together with selected undergraduate courses in the College of Business Administration, the College of Engineering, and the College of Nursing.

    Each session features a variety of courses in the morning and in the evening to accommodate the student who wishes to take course work while employed full- or part-time. A selection of on-line courses offers maximal flexibility in scheduling and permits students to take coursework with minimal residency on campus. Also offered in the summer for academic credit are several one-week workshops and other abbreviated format courses.

    Educational tours, both domestic and international, are regularly offered during the summer. Information regarding tours is normally included in the Summer Session bulletin, as well as in special descriptive brochures.

    Valparaiso University features the three-year baccalaureate program which offers students in selected programs the opportunity to complete their degree in three years by careful planning and the utilization of summer sessions. To complete their program as planned, students must apply for participation in the spring of their freshman year to make certain that they have the proper advising. Students should contact their academic adviser or the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for more information.
