Summer Session Option
Prospective students interested in summer foundation courses must apply for summer admission. Please note that courses are taught remotely and online and move at an accelerated pace.
- Marketing & Management (BUSM 2010/2011) is offered during Session A while Accounting & Finance (BUSM 2020/2021) is offered during Session B. Visit the CU Summer Session website for session dates.
- These courses are taught remotely (at a scheduled class time, exams take place during class time) and online (not at a scheduled class time, exams take place at 7pm MTN time). Students opt into their preferred distance learning modality.
- Summer Business Minor classes move three times faster than standard semester courses. Strong self-initiative (and daily reliable Internet) is needed to be successful.
Continuing Business Minor students also have access to select track and capstone courses, which may be taught in-person or remotely. Limited spots are available; prompt registration is recommended.
