Cal Poly Summer Session 2010 Expands Class Offerings
Through Continuing Education
SAN LUIS OBISPO – Despite state cutbacks in funding for higher education, Cal Poly Summer Term 2010 will feature expanded class offerings to current Cal Poly students as well as residents of San Luis Obispo County.
Cal Poly’s large selection of summer term courses is designed to meet three goals:
- Provide high-demand classes that students need for graduation;
- Provide opportunities for non-Cal Poly students to earn transferable course credits; and
- Offer both career and professional development courses for residents of San Luis Obispo County.
Cal Poly Continuing Education Dean Dennis Parks is encouraging community access. “Through our Open University program,” he said, “anyone can take a Cal Poly class for credit. It’s a simple process.”
Registration for summer term begins in late April, and courses will be offered in five- and eight-week sessions beginning June 21. There will be a pre-fall quarter intersession of three weeks starting Aug. 23.
