Summertime is here, how will you be spending it? It’s not too late to enroll in a great summer course

If you are underwhelmed by your current or summer job, it might be time to consider how you can turn things around. The Brandeis summer program offers great opportunities to increase productivity and inspire change. Better yet, it is open admission so anyone who has completed high school can create a student record and easily register for classes! Are you ready to make this summer count?

Since summer courses are accelerated, it is easier to find time to make the commitment to learning something new while maintaining other obligations. For some it could be a continuation of what they previously started, while others could be inspired for change.

Whatever your reason is, Brandeis summer school offers something for everyone.

The Summer School a great selection of courses beginning in July that are easy to register for. All you have to do is create a student record in SAGE if you have not done so already, and the possibilities are endless.
