Why intersession?
• Opportunity to increase enrollment and
revenue
• Unique educational offerings that can focus on
a single subject in small, intimate classes
• Supports Finish in Four and improved
graduation rates
• More time between fall and spring for research,
projects, and course preparation
• Greater use of University facilities
• Smoother spring semester start-up
