Make This Summer Count: Earn Credits at C.W. Post

If you want to get ahead in your studies this summer, consider earning a few college credits at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University through its Summer Sessions.

More than 700 courses are available from May to August to undergraduate and graduate students, whether they attend C.W. Post or not. In fact, it’s the perfect program for students from other colleges and universities who are home on summer break as well as teachers and other working professionals who wish to further develop their careers. Registration is currently underway.

“We urge everyone to register early for our summer courses,” said Michael Santoro, program coordinator for enrollment services at C.W. Post. “The program is very popular and very well attended.”

Visiting undergraduate and graduate students will find easy, one-step admission and registration and a wide assortment of courses, in five three-week sessions, that count toward degree programs at their full-time schools. Classes are offered days, evenings and weekends.

Graduate students, teachers and professionals can earn three credits in just one week through C.W. Post’s Summer Intensive Institutes. Most run Monday through Friday, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending between 4 or 6 p.m. Offering workshops are the School of Education, College of Information and Computer Science and the School of Visual and Performing Arts.

New Summer Institutes this year include Special Topics: K-12 Literature in the Media Center Classroom; The Beatles--The Music; Immigration, Education and Identity in the US; Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy; Children's Book Illustration; Figure Painting and Mixed Media; Nature and Art; and Music of the Middle East.

The C.W. Post Campus is located at 720 Northern Boulevard (Route 25A) in Brookville, with convenient access from the Long Island Expressway (I-495). Many courses and Summer Institutes are also offered at Long Island University’s Brentwood Campus in Brentwood, N.Y. and the Rockland Graduate Campus in Orangeburg, N.Y.
