Quotes and Comments

“Summer is a great time with flexible courses online and on-campus running in 3, 6, 9 and 12-weeks. Students can go home and take classes online, or they can stay on-campus and complete their course work here, while enjoying the beauty for West Virginia in the summer.” —Amber Novotny, Director of Summer and Winter Intersession
