Summer Session
The College offers a summer program from early May through mid-August, consisting of two, five-week sessions, and a workshop session. Most summer session courses are the same as those offered during the regular academic year, while others are offered only in the summer. The summer session schedule is usually available in late December or early January.
Evening Session
The College offers a year-round evening school program, primarily to serve citizens of Northwest Ohio. All requirements for business administration majors can be completed by attending evening school alone; but for other majors, students will have to spend some time in the regular daytime academic program.
