Pre-registration for Saint Martin’s summer session begins this week

April 8, 2010

Lacey, Washington — Pre-registration for Saint Martin’s University’s summer session begins this week and will run through May 17. Saint Martin’s summer session is divided into two terms: Session I classes run from May 17-June 25; Session II classes run from June 28-August 9. Most classes meet on the University’s Lacey campus.

The summer session curriculum is planned with the diverse needs of the community in mind. Saint Martin’s typically offers summer courses that reflect the regular University curriculum, as available throughout the fall and spring semesters. During summer session, the Saint Martin's University faculty is joined by other professionals from outside the University community, who offer courses in their own specific expertise. Saint Martin’s summer session offers both undergraduate and graduate courses, including courses in accounting, biology, business administration, chemistry, counseling, criminal justice, education, engineering, music, psychology, religious studies, and sociology.

“Saint Martin’s summer session is a great way for students to take a course that they were not able to schedule during the regular year, or to try something different,” says Les Bailey, director of summer session. Bailey also adds that tuition rates for most undergraduate courses are lower than in the regular school year.

Summer session is open to continuing Saint Martin’s students as well as new students who may or may not intend to work toward a degree or teaching certificate.
