Summer Term Greatly Expands Course Offerings

Posted on April 4, 2016

Cal Poly Pomona has increased its summer course offerings and lowered summer tuition fees.

To help students complete their degrees and reach graduation faster, Cal Poly Pomona has substantially increased its summer course offerings. Earlier this year, the university announced lower summer tuition fees and more financial aid to make summer term more accessible.

“Our goal was to offer more classes in a range of times that would help students advance towards their degree. We’re paying particular attention to bottleneck courses, and the colleges are stepping up to the challenge,” says Dan Lewis, interim associate vice president for academic quality and assessment.

For example, the College of Letters, Arts & Social Sciences has more than doubled its offerings. “We’ve focused on GE courses and more on the bottleneck courses this summer,” says Sara Garver, interim associate dean for CLASS. “We have a lot of great courses including upper and lower division synthesis courses for students’ majors.”

In the College of Business Administration, accounting and computer information systems have each expanded summer classes by 25 percent, and the international business and marketing department increased its offering by 10 percent. The college is monitoring enrollments so that additional sections can be added to meet demand.

In Engineering, the biggest change will be the addition of evening classes to accommodate student work and internship schedules. The college also expects to offer a broader summer selection this year.

Science anticipates an 8 percent expansion in the number of courses and has moved a number of courses to better accommodate student schedule preferences.

The College of Agriculture has 17 more classes than last year, including a 30 percent increase in GEs.

Meanwhile, Environmental Design, which in recent years has only offered summer courses in connection with its summer program in Beijing, has added several courses as well as a new study abroad program in Japan for graphic design students.

The summer class schedule is now online. Priority registration for summer 2016 is April 13 and 14. General registration for summer term is April 18 through May 6. Students may also add classes June 13 through 23.
