Who would trade a chaise lounge alongside a pool for a chair and desk in a college classroom? Someone who wants to get a jump start on a college degree, a chance to advance their career, or graduate ahead of the competition for full-time jobs, that’s who.
Registration is now underway for summer courses at Rutgers University-Newark, a university that is both internationally recognized and individually focused. Rutgers University in Newark offers both day and evening courses, at the undergraduate and graduate level, in nearly 40 fields of study, ranging from business to economics to social work. Online, hybrid, and weekend courses are also available, and many courses are web-enhanced.
If you are a current high school student, you could get a jump start on college courses. If you’re an adult interested in career advancement or personal development, a Rutgers summer course is the way to go. If you’re already a Rutgers student or a visiting college student, summer courses can help you graduate early and beat competitors into the job market. Courses are available to visiting students from any college, and to adult learners. Due to Rutgers’ national reputation, visiting students can be confident their courses will transfer to their home institutions.
