Think Summer! at FDU

FDU encourages faculty and staff to “Think Summer” and check into the host of opportunities available at FDU this summer. Programs include more than 500 graduate and undergraduate courses, study-abroad experiences and special interest and sports camps for children and teens.

“The entire campus community of faculty and staff can take advantage of accelerated summer sessions to complete a degree or to upgrade one’s professional skills,” stated Anita Rivers, director of undergraduate adult and part-time admissions. “There is such a diverse mix of courses being offered that even family and friends can benefit from taking courses. We are encouraging everyone to Think Summer at FDU!”

Those looking to expand their job skills and make themselves more valuable employees or job candidates can register for graduate or undergraduate courses in a wide spectrum of subjects, including science, engineering, mathematics, computer skills and management.

Those considering pursuing a graduate degree at FDU can test the waters by registering for summer courses. FDU employees may take up to 9 credits as nonmatriculated students. If the course taken is part of a degree program, it will apply to the degree once matriculated.

FDU students and visiting students from other colleges and universities can get ahead in their course work by attending FDU this summer. They may fulfill prerequisites, concentrate on a particularly difficult subject, lighten their fall course loads or explore areas of interest to help in deciding their majors. (Visiting students should check with an academic adviser at their home campus for transferability of credits prior to registration at FDU.)

High-school juniors and seniors may be eligible to earn college credits as Summer Scholars. Pre-teens and teens can explore a variety of interests including computers, business, performing arts, basketball, tennis, soccer and more at our specialized camps throughout the summer. The University also offers travel opportunities for teens.
