“Summer classes at La Roche allow all types of students to further their education while lowering costs. Students receive the same quality of academics as those who take classes in the fall,” Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Tom Schaefer, Ph.D., said. “The learning environment is unique and personal, there is an option for free housing, and students are able to achieve success without sacrificing other obligations they may have during the summer.”
Classes are open to students who want to minimize their fall workload, including adult learners who seek career advancement. All students are expected to have completed the established course prerequisites, as indicted on the schedule of classes. Academic credits earned will appear on an official La Roche transcript. Visiting undergraduate students are required to seek the permission of their home registrar to ensure that courses taken are transferable to their home institution.
High school students may earn college credit through La Roche’s Scholar Credit Initiative Program (SCIP) to receive a discount on per-credit costs and get acclimated to the college learning environment sooner. Classes are offered online and on campus, and include a wide variety of courses in history, English, languages and more.
