Summer Blocks offer participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in a fascinating topic, work closely with exceptional professors, fulfill various requirements, and earn 1 unit of college credit. During 3 weeks students and faculty engage deeply with issues in a way that is often not possible in the regular academic year when they need to balance multiple classes and commitments.
You will get to know a host of professors and students who will introduce you to a broad range of ways that academics can approach common problems. You will explore our city and region, using the tools you gain from fascinating lectures and workshops. And you will live on our beautiful campus on the Rock River, getting a taste of one of the country’s leading residential liberal arts colleges.
Summer Mods are held on a seven-week term and allow for students to take two courses simultaneously. Each Summer Mod is worth 1 unit of college credit.
