Weekend University
Weekend University offers core curriculum courses for every major, designed for working adults who find it difficult to attend evening classes during the week.  Classes meet every other weekend, allowing the busy adult more time to spend with family and deal with work-related responsibilities, as well as providing time to complete course work.  Courses from the weekend schedule may be combined with courses in the AHEAD format.

Summer Sessions
There are three unique terms offered during the late spring and summer. More information...

Winter Intersession
The winter intersession offers students three unique start dates to take classes.

Accelerated Format - AHEAD
AHEAD is the University College accelerated course format. The core curriculum is the same for all University majors, therefore AHEAD core courses are available to all part-time students. AHEAD classes provide working adults the unique opportunity to complete an Associate or Baccalaureate Degree program in half the time of a traditional part-time program. AHEAD classes are designed specifically for working adults interested in completing their degree in a realistic timeframe.

AHEAD consists of five terms per year. Classes are offered in an accelerated format consisting of seven and a half week terms. Classes meet either two nights a week for 2 hours and 15 minutes per night or 1 night for 4 hours and 15 minutes. Students can take up to 6 AHEAD credits each term.
