Brown University Summer Session features small classes in a variety of fields, from anthropology to visual arts in seven-week intensive courses that offer students the opportunity to extend their undergraduate study into the summer term, allowing them to focus on a single subject area, take courses that are typically full during the rest of the academic year, catch up on progress to a degree, improve academic standing or explore new subjects of interest. Excellent teachers from Brown's instructional staff and a few selected instructors from other institutions comprise the faculty of the Summer Session. All faculty members hold office hours regularly to assist students with their individual studies and projects. The typically small size of classes in Summer Session allow for dynamic discussions, friendly student support and plenty of time with your instructor and peers. DATES FOR SUMMER SESSION: June 17 to August 2, 2024. For questions please contact summersession@brown.edu.
