"As an international student, online summer courses gave me the freedom to go back to India while I completed my credits. Summer Session provided me flexibility without compromising on my education."
"My winter course allowed me to fulfill an actual three credit slot in my schedule, so it made my spring schedule easier with other elective classes to fit. The convenience of the course was a major factor; it was nice to have an online course that I could take from home."
"I have taken summer courses for the past four years because I want to get ahead of my studies and take courses that I might not have been able to in the fall or spring semesters."
"The Engineering Summer Academy has prepared me for my future goals by providing me with a strong foundation in engineering principles and real-world applications. It gave me a glimpse into the collaborative nature of engineering work, which has strengthened my decision to pursue a career in this field."
