As the days get longer and thoughts drift to warmer temperatures, there’s one activity students should consider adding to their spring and summer to-do list.

Taking a Spring and Summer Term course comes with many benefits that make it a worthwhile endeavour beyond the traditional academic year. Brock offers nearly 400 engaging courses from April to August to help undergraduate students advance their area of study and explore topics of interest.

Reasons to consider Brock’s Spring/Summer courses:

Enjoy flexible options: With face-to-face, blended and online courses available, Spring/Summer classes have never been more accessible. Headed home outside of Niagara for the season? Stay connected to campus and advance your studies with an online offering.

Jump on the fast track to graduation: Taking Spring/Summer courses, while maintaining a full course load through the remainder of the year, can help you to accelerate your degree. This means less time until you take that pivotal walk across the Convocation stage before beginning your professional career.

Reduce next year’s course load: For those less interested in shortening their timeline to graduation, Spring/Summer courses provide the opportunity to lighten the workload in the busy fall and winter seasons. Whether it works better for your learning style or your life circumstances, reducing your course load — and your stress — at the height of the school year means more time to focus your attention on your remaining classes.

Balance work and study: Navigating a job while advancing your education is no easy feat. Maintain the connection to your studies with convenient learning opportunities that support working students and their demanding schedules.

Satisfy a program requirement: Check a required course off your list that you feel may need more dedicated focus. Spring/Summer options provide the chance to give priority to courses without having to balance a full course load.

Pickup an elective: Explore areas of interest beyond your program. With hundreds of courses available, there is no shortage of compelling topics to dive into. Many popular electives that fill up quickly in the Fall and Winter Terms are also available from April to August.

Experience campus in full bloom: Located in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and at the top of the Niagara Escarpment, Brock’s lush campus flourishes in the spring and summer months. Experience the natural beauty the University has to offer by taking a face-to-face or blended class.
