May Term 2008

May Term offers exciting learning opportunities that lead to academic credit. 

Scheduled to meet for three weeks immediately following the spring semester, May Term makes it possible to take one additional course and still have time for that all-important summer job or traditional summer school classes.

Many May term classes involve traveling to a new destination and others focus on a science topic or Chicago culture.  In addition, May Term allows undergraduate students to catch up on general education requirements or get a jump-start on the upcoming academic year.

For a full listing of May term courses and additional information including fees, prerequisites, and course descriptions, refer to the May Term Course Bulletin. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar at 630-844-5462.
