Ah, summer. A time to kick back, sleep in, close the books . . . or NOT! Summer is a great time to learn with Isothermal Community College.
Summer Classes for College Credit
With the spring semester moving right along, a lot of college students are focused on mid-terms, finals, and leaving all that studying behind when summer gets here. But there are big advantages to registering for summer courses. If you attend a four-year university and will be home during summer break, why not pick up a few credits that transfer into your program? It could save you or your parents money and you may be able to do it online. Call today.
The ability to catch up or move ahead in your college plans
If you’re currently behind in your program of study, taking summer courses is a great way to catch up. Isothermal offers a number of high-demand classes during the summer — the same classes you may have had to forego during the fall or spring semester because they were full. Summer courses are a great idea even if you are on schedule to graduate. If you would like to work ahead or lighten your standard semester load, taking one or more summer college classes can help you do so.
Smaller class sizes
With a smaller class size, your professor can give you more personal attention. This can be quite beneficial, especially if you initially find it difficult to adjust to the accelerated pace of a summer session course and require help. The more intimate learning environment may just help you excel, especially in more challenging classes.
Fewer distractions
During the summer term, you will likely be limited in the number of credits you can take. With a reduced course load, you will be able to focus more on the class or classes you’re enrolled in. This can be especially useful if you hope to ace a more challenging course, like organic chemistry or calculus.
