What's Up for Summer Onsite Classes?

There's a good selection of summer onsite courses in Rockland. Amy Peterson Cyr's Interpersonal Communications (COM 102) always fills in the fall and spring so grab it this summer. Human Biology (BIO 100) summer class with Vanessa Richards is a good hands-on way to meet a 4-credit lab science requirement.  Teresa Mayo will teach Interviewing and Counseling (PSY 330) in a very interactive format different from the ITV or online sections. David Farmer's Modern Art (ARH 274) will meet a fine arts requirement and involves trips to the Farnsworth Museum as well as practicing artists' studios. A 5-hour studio art class, Watercolor Painting, with Seth Lester will combine indoor and outdoor painting adventures. General education requirements, College Writing (ENG 101) with Audrey Ennamorati and Introduction to Literature (ENG 102W) with Garrett Vail are necessary to complete most degree requirements. Seth Hedgcock will teach Algebra I (MAT 30) and help students get ready for the next math level in the fall.

Taking summer courses can accelerate your way to degree completion.  And, there is financial aid for summer.
