Courses offered during winter

Due to student requests, NKU announced that it is offering courses during this year’s winter intercession. This will be the first instance in the university’s history that it has ever opened classes during this time. Students can chose from over 30 courses, which will run from Dec. 20 through Jan. 7.

Students will be allowed to take one three-credit hour course, which will last several hours a day. Both graduate classes and high demand classes will be offered during the intercession. Also, some of the classes will be inventive, new classes, because professors now have a chance to do innovative lessons that require longer class periods.

NKU officials estimate that nearly 450 students (15 per class) will sign up for the winter intercession.
