Summer Session
The Summer Session 2008 schedule at the University of Wisconsin-Barron County includes ten on-campus and 38 online credit courses along with an opportunity for students to earn 2 credits by participating in the Internship Program.
According to Dale Fenton, UW-BC Assistant Campus Dean for Student Services, this is an opportunity for university students returning to the area for summer to continue their studies, for recent high school graduates to earn some early credits, or for current students to get ahead in coursework. The summer session also provides an opportunity for the general public to participate in an enrichment experience.
The on-campus schedule features three week, four week, and eight week courses.
