Why intersession?

• Opportunity to increase enrollment and revenue

• Unique educational offerings that can focus on a single subject in small, intimate classes

• Supports Finish in Four and improved graduation rates

• More time between fall and spring for research, projects, and course preparation

• Greater use of University facilities

• Smoother spring semester start-up
