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
