Do More Than Beat The Heat This Summer; Beat The Competition Through Courses
What’s the difference between sitting on a beach all summer and sitting in a classroom a few hours a week? One will get you a tan, the other could get you a jump on a college degree, a chance to advance your career, or help you graduate ahead of your competition for full-time jobs.
Registration is now underway for summer courses at Rutgers-Newark, a university that is both internationally recognized and individually focused. Rutgers 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 most courses are web-enhanced with the Blackboard Course Management System.
The first 6-week summer session runs from May 28-July 5, the second 6-week session from July 8-Aug. 14, and the 12-week session from May 28-Aug. 14. Registration for the second session is still open, until July 5.
If you are a high-achieving current high school student, you could get a jump start on college courses the Rutgers-Newark Summer Scholars Program. 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 or a visiting college student, summer courses can help you graduate early and beat competitors into the job market.
