Summer Sessions Offer Affordable, Accessible Options

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gardner-Webb University’s summer sessions offer affordable, accessible online and in-person courses designed to help students get ahead, stay on track, or explore new interests on their path to graduation. Choose from an array of subjects across all disciplines from business and management to creative and independent studies.

Gardner-Webb’s flexible online courses are tailored to fit students’ summer schedules wherever they are located. It’s an opportunity to complete prerequisites, earn their degree faster, or explore new areas of study. They can also take advantage of discounted tuition at only $375 per credit hour.

“Summer is the perfect time to get ahead,” noted Dr. Greg D. Pillar, assistant provost for Academic Affairs. “I’ve seen students completely transform their academic path in one summer. It’s a small window that can make a big difference.”

Gardner-Webb junior Jeff Jacome enrolled in online summer classes to help manage his course load. A pre-professional exercise science major, he shares the benefits of taking classes over the summer with prospective students and their families.

“The professors were very helpful,” Jacome affirmed. “I learned a lot. It creates a great environment to get ahead on course credits without having to pile on a ton of work in the fall and spring semesters. I liked that you can go at your own pace with the work, while still having set deadlines to follow.”

The summer curriculum spans a variety of fields, including:

• Business and Management: Accounting, Marketing, International Business, Healthcare Management.
• STEM and Technology: Computer Science, Chemistry, Calculus, Statistics.
• Social Sciences and Humanities: Psychology, Criminal Justice, History, Political Science, Communications, English, Religion.
• Education and Leadership: Counselor Education, Education Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, Dissertation Support.
• Health and Wellness: Nursing, Exercise Science, Sports Management, Sports Ethics & Marketing.
• Creative and Independent Studies: Music, Independent Study projects.

Pillar added that by checking off a prerequisite or taking a core course, students will have more options later. “The flexibility of taking courses during the summer session is unmatched. Whether you’re working, traveling, or home for the break, there’s an option that fits your schedule and at an affordable price point.”
